Product Details

Description

Novolin GE NPH Vial is an FDA-approved medication containing insulin isophane human biosynthetic, intermediate-acting insulin used to regulate blood sugar levels in individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Novolin GE NPH Vial is available in 10 mL vials and is typically administered one to three times a day via subcutaneous injection in the abdomen, thigh, or arm. Common side effects may include hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia and weight gain. To avoid any unwanted side effects, always consult your doctor or healthcare provider before starting any new medication. 

Novolin GE NPH Vial contains a type of insulin called insulin isophane human biosynthetic. It’s used to help manage blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. This insulin works by slowly releasing into the bloodstream, helping to lower high blood sugar levels between meals and overnight. It acts similarly to the natural insulin produced by the pancreas. Novolin GE NPH Vial comes in 10 mL vials and is usually injected under the skin in the abdomen, thigh, or arm one to three times a day, as a healthcare professional advice. It can be used by individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Common side effects of Novolin Vial may include hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, injection site reactions, weight gain, and allergic reactions. It’s essential to monitor blood sugar levels closely, especially when there are changes in diet, exercise, or insulin dosage. If allergic reactions occur or if there are concerns about insulin dosage adjustments during pregnancy or breastfeeding, consulting a healthcare professional is recommended.

Unopened vials should be kept in the refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C to avoid freezing. Once opened, vials can be stored at room temperature for up to 42 days. Insulin should be protected from extreme heat, direct sunlight, and moisture and always kept tightly sealed when not in use. Proper disposal of unused medicine and adherence to storage instructions are essential for maintaining the effectiveness of the Novolin GE NPH Vial.

Step 5: Inject the air into the vial, push the needle through the rubber stopper, and push the plunger. 

Step 6: Turn the vial and syringe and vial upside down. 

Step 7: Draw the right amount of insulin into the syringe and slowly pull back the plunger.

How It Works

Novolin vial is an intermediate-acting insulin that regulates glucose levels in the blood. When injected subcutaneously, it forms a depot of insulin under the skin. It gradually releases insulin into the bloodstream, providing a sustained effect over an extended period. This helps lower elevated blood sugar levels, particularly between meals and during the night. It mimics the natural insulin production of the pancreas, aiding in glucose absorption by cells for energy and storage, thereby helping to manage diabetes.

  • Hypoglycemia
  • Hyperglycemia

Safety Guide

  • Hypoglycemia is one of the most common side effects of Novolin GE NPH. It is essential to treat the symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia as it can cause loss of consciousness, coma, and, in some rare cases, death.
  • Any insulin or dosage adjustment change should be made cautiously and only under medical supervision.
  • Novolin GE NPH is not for intravenous use.
  • You should not use the medication if it appears to have a change in appearance. Do not use the vial if it is cloudy, not uniformly white, or has particles.
Missed Dose
  • If you miss a dose of Novolin GE NPH, take it as soon as you remember.
  • If it’s about time for your next dose, you may skip the missed dose and take the next dose as scheduled.
  • Do not take two doses together to overcompensate for the missed dose.

[Note: If you have missed a medication dose and are unsure when to take the next one, immediately consult your doctor or pharmacist.]

Overdose

Due to an overdose of the medication, you may face symptoms of severe low blood sugar, such as headache, rapid heartbeat, temporary changes in vision, drowsiness, fatigue, a state of confusion, and more. If you get these signs, eat glucose tablets or a high-sugar snack. Tell someone if you think you may pass out and seek medical assistance immediately.
