Product Description
Isophane Protamine Human Insulin (NPH Insulin) is an intermediate-acting human insulin formulation. It is prepared by combining regular human insulin with protamine sulfate, forming a suspended crystalline complex. After subcutaneous injection, it is absorbed slowly and steadily, providing basal insulin coverage with a delayed onset and prolonged duration of action. It is widely used to maintain fasting and between-meal blood glucose levels in diabetic patients.
