This is especially important if you use different types of insulin. 1. Look at the vial and the insulin. The insulin should be cloudy or milky suspension The tamper-resistant cap should be in place before the first use. If the cap had been removed before your first use of the vial, or if the precipitate (the white deposit at the bottom of the vial) has become lumpy or granular in appearance or has formed deposit of solid particles on the wall of the vial, do not use it, and call Novo Nordisk at 1-800-727-6500. 2. Wash your hands with soap and water. If you clean your injection site with an alcohol swab, let the injection site dry before you inject. Talk with your healthcare provider about how to rotate injection sites and how to give an injection. 3. If you are using new vial, pull off the tamper-resistant cap. Wipe the rubber stopper with an alcohol swab. 4. Roll the vial gently 10 times in your hands to mix it. This procedure should be carried out with the vial in horizontal position. The rolling procedure must be repeated until the suspension appears uniformly white and cloudy. Shaking right before the dose is drawn into the syringe may cause bubbles or froth, which could cause you to draw up the wrong dose of insulin. 5. Pull back the plunger on the syringe until the black tip reaches the marking for the number of units you will inject. 6. Push the needle through the rubber stopper of the vial, and push the plunger all the way in to force air into the vial. 7. Turn the vial and syringe upside down and slowly pull the plunger back to few units beyond the correct dose. 8. If there are any air bubbles, tap the syringe gently with your finger to raise the air bubbles to the top. Then slowly push the plunger to the marking for your correct dose. This process should move any air bubbles present in the syringe back into the vial. 9. Check to make sure you have the right dose of Novolin in the syringe. 10. Pull the syringe with needle out of the vials rubber stopper. 11. Your doctor should tell you if you need to pinch the skin before inserting the needle. This can vary from patient to patient so it is important to ask your doctor if you did not receive instructions on pinching the skin. Insert the needle into the skin. Press the plunger of the syringe to inject the insulin. When you are finished injecting the insulin, pull the needle out of your skin. You may see drop of Novolin at the needle tip. This is normal and has no effect on the dose you just received. If you see blood after you take the needle out of your skin, press the injection site lightly with piece of gauze or an alcohol wipe. 12. Do not rub the area. After your injection, do not recap the needle. Place used syringes, needles and used insulin vials in disposable puncture-resistant sharps container, or some type of hard plastic or metal container with screw on cap such as detergent bottle or coffee can. 13. Ask your healthcare provider about the right way to throw away used syringes and needles. There may be state or local laws about the right way to throw away used syringes and needles. Do not throw away used needles and syringes in household trash or recycle. 14. How should mix Novolin with Regular human insulinDifferent insulins should be mixed only under instruction from health care provider. Novolin should be mixed only when injections with syringes are used. Insulin syringes may vary in the amount of space between the bottom line and the needle (dead space), so if you are mixing two types of insulin be sure to discuss any change in the model and brand of syringe you are using with your healthcare provider. Novolin can be mixed with Regular human insulin right before use. When you are mixing Novolin insulin with Regular human insulin, always draw the Regular human (clear) insulin into the syringe first. Do not mix Novolin with any other type of insulin besides Regular human insulin. Add together the doses (total number of units) of Regular human insulin and Novolin that you need to inject. The total dose will determine the final amount (volume) in the syringe after drawing up both insulins into the syringe. For example, if you need units of Novolin and units of Regular human insulin, the total dose of insulin in the syringe would be units. 1. Roll the Novolin vial between your hands until the liquid is equally cloudy throughout. 2. Draw into the syringe the same amount of air as the Novolin dose. Inject this air into the Novolin vial and then remove the needle from the vial but do not withdraw any of the Novolin insulin. (Transferring Novolin to the Regular human insulin vial will contaminate the Regular human insulin vial and may change how quickly it works.) 3. Draw into the syringe the same amount of air as the Regular human insulin dose. Inject this air into the Regular human insulin vial. With the needle in place, turn the vial upside down and withdraw the correct dose of Regular human insulin. The tip of the needle must be in the Regular human insulin to get the full dose and not an air dose. 4. After withdrawing the needle from the Regular human insulin vial, insert the needle into the Novolin vial. Turn the Novolin vial upside down with the syringe and needle still in it. Withdraw the correct dose of Novolin N. 5. Inject right away to avoid changes in how quickly the insulin works. 6. Metacresol . Zinc chloride . Glycerol . Sodium hydroxide . Hydrochloric acid .
