NDC Package Code:
0002-8501-01
Package Description:
1 VIAL, MULTI-DOSE in 1 CARTON / 20 mL in 1 VIAL, MULTI-DOSE
Product Code:
0002-8501
Proprietary Name:
Humulin R U-500
Non-Proprietary Name:
Insulin Human
Substance Name:
Insulin Human
Usage Information:
Concentrated insulin regular is used with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in people with diabetes who require large doses of insulin (more than 200 units per day). Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke. This man-made insulin product is the same as human insulin. It replaces the insulin that your body would normally make. It works right away like regular insulin but its effects last longer. It works by helping blood sugar (glucose) get into cells so your body can use it for energy. This medication may be used alone or with other oral diabetes drugs (such as metformin).
