Introduction

Wosulin 50/50 Dispo Pen 2 is a combination of two types of insulin: an intermediate-acting and a short-acting insulin. It is used to manage blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes mellitus, both type 1 and type 2. This medication helps maintain blood sugar control in both adults and children. While it is generally safe, it is important to follow medical advice closely to avoid potential side effects and complications.

Your doctor or nurse will give you this medicine. Kindly do not self administer.

Insulin Isophane has a prolonged duration of action, while human insulin has a fast onset of action. Together, they ensure rapid and consistent sugar control by facilitating the reuptake of sugar in muscle and fat cells and suppressing the production of sugar in the liver.

Take it 15 minutes before a meal or within 20 minutes after starting a meal. Injection below the skin of the abdomen results in faster absorption than other injection sites such as the skin of the upper arms, thighs, or buttocks. After injection, the site of injection should not be massaged. Injection sites must be rotated to prevent hard lumps from developing at one site. Change to another type or brand of insulin should be done under strict medical supervision as it may require a change in dosage. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) may occur when taken along with other antidiabetic medicines, alcohol, or on delaying/skipping a meal. Carry a sugar source with you for immediate relief. Do not share your insulin device with other people, even if the needle has been changed. You may give other people a serious infection or get a serious infection from them. Opened vials/cartridges stay good at room temperature for up to 4 weeks, while unopened vials must be placed in the refrigerator (2°C–8°C).
