The Humulin N KwikPen is filled with Humulin-N, which is used for the control of high blood sugar in the treatment of diabetes. The KwikPen is compact with pre-filled doses, and does not need to be refrigerated once opened and in use, which makes it an easy and convenient way to administer your insulin needs at home or on the go.
Humulin N contains insulin isophane, also known as NPH insulin, which has been modified so that it can have a longer duration of action. It is classified as an intermediate-acting insulin and has a slower onset of action than Humulin R (about 90 minutes after injection) and a longer duration of effect that can last up to 24 hours. Intermediate-acting insulin is a background or basal insulin because it provides you with an entire day’s worth of blood sugar level control. Humulin-N is structurally identical to normal insulin but it has protamines, which are small proteins, mixed in to slow down its onset and expand its length of action to last the whole day.
