2.1 Important

Preparation and Administration Instructions Preparation Instructions Always check insulin labels before administration. HUMALOG Mix50/50 is a suspension that must be resuspended immediately before use. Resuspension is easier when the insulin has reached room temperature. To resuspend the KwikPen, gently roll the KwikPen at least 10 times and then carefully invert the KwikPen at least 10 times until the suspension appears uniformly white and cloudy. Inspect HUMALOG Mix50/50 visually before use. Do not use if discoloration or particulate matter is seen. Administration Instructions After resuspension, immediately administer HUMALOG Mix50/50 by subcutaneous injection into the abdominal wall, thigh, upper arm, or buttocks. Rotate the injection site within the same region from one injection to the next to reduce the risk of lipodystrophy and localized cutaneous amyloidosis. Do not inject into areas of lipodystrophy or localized cutaneous amyloidosis. The HUMALOG Mix50/50 KwikPen dials in 1 unit increments. Use HUMALOG Mix50/50 KwikPen with caution in patients with visual impairment that may rely on audible clicks to dial their dose. Do not administer HUMALOG Mix50/50 intravenously or by a continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion pump. Do not mix HUMALOG Mix50/50 with any other insulins or diluents.
