Drug Details
Insulin lispro protamine/insulin lispro, also known as Humalog 75/25, is a medication used to manage blood sugar levels in adults with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. This medication is a blend of two synthetic insulins: 75% intermediate-acting insulin lispro protamine and 25% rapid-acting insulin lispro. Designed to be injected under the skin, typically twice daily about 15 minutes before meals, this combination starts working quickly and its effects last longer than regular insulin. By replacing the insulin that the body no longer produces, it helps the body effectively utilize sugar from the diet, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. Properly managing high blood sugar with this insulin mix can help prevent complications such as kidney damage, blindness, nerve issues, amputations, and problems with sexual function. It may also reduce the risk of heart attacks or strokes. It is available in vials and pens (KwikPen) and can also be found as a generic medication. Some side effects include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and potential reactions at the injection site.
