Composition

Each ml contains:

Mechanism of Action

Insulin Lispro works by:

• Rapidly lowering blood glucose levels after injection
• Facilitating uptake of glucose into muscle and fat cells
• Suppressing glucose production in the liver
• Acting faster than regular human insulin due to modified structure

It begins working within minutes and has a short duration of action, making it ideal for mealtime glucose control.
