Hello, thanks for the query.

As regards your question both the brands work in the same manner. Both contain human insulin only but compounds are different. So there is no need to worry...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Both Insulins mentioned are same. Only difference is one has 40 units per ml in the vial. The other has 100 units per ml in the pen. So if you are taking 6 units with 40 u/ml one, then 6 units need to be taken with the pen. You will have to fix the dosage on the pen, it will deliver that quantity only. Thanks.
