Indications & Clinical Uses

Mixtard 30 Innolet is an insulin preparation used to manage blood glucose in diabetes mellitus.

  • Type 1 diabetes mellitus: provides basal and prandial insulin coverage to achieve glycaemic control.
  • Type 2 diabetes mellitus: used when oral agents are insufficient to reach target glucose levels.
  • Insulin‑requiring diabetes: supplies exogenous insulin to replace deficient endogenous production.

How It Works

  • Insulin human binds to insulin receptors on cell membranes, activating intracellular signaling pathways that increase glucose uptake in muscle and adipose tissue, stimulate glycogen synthesis in liver and muscle, and suppress hepatic gluconeogenesis, thereby lowering blood glucose concentrations.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Hypoglycaemia: low blood sugar episodes, especially if dose exceeds need.
  • Injection site reactions: redness, swelling, or itching at the injection site.
  • Weight gain: increased caloric storage due to improved glucose utilization.
  • Lipodystrophy: localized fat tissue changes at repeated injection sites.
  • Edema: mild fluid retention, often peripheral.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Anaphylactic reaction: severe allergic response requiring immediate medical attention.
  • Severe hypoglycaemia with seizures or loss of consciousness.
  • Development of insulin antibodies that may alter drug efficacy.
  • Lipohypertrophy: painful thickened tissue that can affect insulin absorption.
  • Hypokalemia: low potassium levels secondary to rapid glucose shift into cells.

Precautions & Warnings

Mixtard 30 Innolet requires careful clinical monitoring and patient education.

  • Dose adjustment: tailor dose to individual blood glucose monitoring results.
  • Renal impairment: may need lower doses due to reduced clearance.
  • Hepatic impairment: monitor glucose closely as metabolism may be altered.
  • Pregnancy: use only if benefits outweigh potential risks.
  • Hypoglycaemia risk: educate patients on recognizing and treating low blood sugar.
  • Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Avoid Interactions

Mixtard 30 Innolet can interact with several drug classes.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Beta‑blockers: may mask hypoglycaemia symptoms.
  • MAO inhibitors: can potentiate insulin’s glucose‑lowering effect.
  • Concurrent insulin products: increase risk of overdose.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Sulfonylureas or other oral hypoglycaemics: additive glucose‑lowering effect.
  • Thiazide diuretics: may raise blood glucose levels.
  • Corticosteroids: may increase insulin requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mixtard 30 Innolet is a prefilled insulin pen that provides rapid‑acting and intermediate‑acting insulin to help control blood glucose levels in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus who require insulin therapy.

Insulin human mimics the body’s natural insulin, binding to insulin receptors on cells. This triggers pathways that increase glucose uptake into muscle and fat, promote glycogen storage in the liver, and suppress glucose production, thereby lowering circulating blood sugar.

The dose of Mixtard 30 Innolet is individualized. A qualified prescriber determines the amount based on the patient’s blood‑glucose monitoring, dietary intake, activity level, and overall treatment goals.

Insulin is generally considered the preferred glucose‑lowering therapy in pregnancy when needed. However, the decision to use Mixtard 30 Innolet should be made by a healthcare professional after weighing potential benefits and risks for both mother and fetus. Breastfeeding mothers should also consult their provider.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including cold‑chain if needed) and required import documentation.

Mixtard 30 Innolet combines rapid‑acting and intermediate‑acting insulin in a single pen, offering flexibility for both mealtime and basal coverage. Compared with basal‑only insulins, it reduces the number of injections needed, while providing a more predictable pharmacokinetic profile than some mixed‑insulin preparations.

Store the pen at 2‑8 °C (refrigerated) and protect it from light. Do not freeze or shake the pen. Once in use, it may be kept at room temperature (up to 30 °C) for a maximum of 28 days, as indicated on the label.

Mixtard 30 Innolet is administered subcutaneously using the prefilled pen. The injection site should be rotated among the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions on dosing timing relative to meals.

The most serious risks include severe hypoglycaemia, which can lead to seizures or loss of consciousness, and allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. Patients should be educated to recognize early signs of low blood sugar and to seek immediate medical help if a severe reaction occurs.

Mixtard 30 Innolet should not be used by individuals with a known hypersensitivity to insulin human or any excipients in the formulation. It is also contraindicated in patients experiencing hypoglycaemia until the condition is corrected.
