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.

Actrapid action is only for few hours because it has very short span of life and Mixtard acts for twelve hours because it has short and long acting insulin

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
There are many different types of insulins, some are for rapid action like Insulin Actarapid, which starts action with in minutes of injection and helps prevent after food glucose rise.

Mr. Lybrate-user, diabetes mellitus most often does not produce any symptoms, hence many persons fail to detect that they have t2 diabetes. When fully developed it may cause excess urination, excess thirst, excess thirst, excess hunger, unexplained weight loss and tiredness. In type 1 diabetes insulin injection is the only treatment, plus it is required for survival of t1 dm patient. Actrapid is a fast acting insulin, its action begins within 30 minutes of administration. Human regular insulin t...more

I am type 2 diabetic patient since 28 years with high bp and coronary heart disease (standing in 2008 and 2014). For dm taking novomix penfill 30/70 insulin three times and tablets (glister 4, morning and evening, tenpla in afternoon and ramo-100 morning and evening). Cost of novomix penfill is very high and increasing every 6 months. My family physician advised alternate insulin i.e. Wosulin 30/70 manufactured by wockhardt locally. The content of both is same except novomix is synthetic and wosulin is human. With novomix penfill and tablets my sugar levels are average 130 fasting and post lunch 175. By switching over to wosulin (cost benefit which is one third of novomix) is there any side effect? Will my sugar level will controlled? Will there weight gain. Attaching medical history. Taking novomix since last six years.

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have gone through the details given. In fact you are too many drugs to treat diabetes. Since you are on 30/70 insulin (any one is similar) you can actually achieve better control by monitoring the insulin dosage and fasting and pp glucose levels. Taking so many oral anti-diabetes drugs may not be needed.
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

Mr. Lybrate-user, excess use of cough syrups containing codeine for long time is not good. Codeine can lead to addiction, both physical and mental. Plus causes constipation. According to the company's own list of side-effects list it can cause cns depression, lassitude, drowsiness, loss of appetite, dizziness, blurring of vision, tightness in chest, hypertension etc. So such preparations should be used sparingly only for a very short duration. Thanks.
