Insulatard 100 is an intermediate-acting NPH (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) human insulin suspension. This cloudy insulin preparation contains 100 IU/mL of isophane insulin, providing extended blood glucose control for patients with diabetes mellitus. It’s designed to maintain consistent basal insulin levels throughout the day. Uses Insulatard is prescribed for blood glucose management in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It’s particularly effective for providing background insulin coverage and maintaining stable blood sugar levels between meals and overnight. Benefits Provides stable basal insulin coverage Offers intermediate-duration glucose control Reduces nighttime hypoglycemia risk Helps maintain consistent fasting glucose Cost-effective diabetes management Suitable for once or twice daily dosing Well-established safety profile Flexible timing options How It Works Insulatard’s isophane insulin crystals slowly dissolve after injection, providing a gradual release of insulin into the bloodstream. This controlled release helps maintain steady blood glucose levels over an extended period, making it effective for basal insulin coverage.
