Enter section text here

2.1 Dosing

NovoLog Mix 70/30 is an insulin analog with an earlier onset and intermediate duration of action in comparison to the basal human insulin premix. The addition of protamine to the rapid-acting aspart insulin analog (NovoLog) results in insulin activity that is 30% short-acting and 70% long-acting. NovoLog Mix 70/30 is typically dosed on a twice-daily basis (with each dose intended to cover 2 meals or a meal and a snack). The dosage of NovoLog Mix 70/30 must be individualized. The written prescription for NovoLog Mix 70/30 should include the full name, to avoid confusion with NovoLog (insulin aspart) and Novolin 70/30 (human premix).

NovoLog Mix 70/30 should appear uniformly white and cloudy. Do not use it if it looks clear or if it contains solid particles. NovoLog Mix 70/30 should not be used after the printed expiration date.

NovoLog Mix 70/30 should be administered by subcutaneous injection in the abdominal region, buttocks, thigh, or upper arm. NovoLog Mix 70/30 has a faster onset of action than human insulin premix 70/30 and should be dosed within 15 minutes before meal initiation for patients with type 1 diabetes. For patients with type 2 diabetes, dosing should occur within 15 minutes before or after meal initiation. Injection sites should be rotated within the same region to reduce the risk of lipodystrophy. As with all insulins, the duration of action may vary according to the dose, injection site, blood flow, temperature, and level of physical activity.

NovoLog Mix 70/30 should not be administered intravenously or used in insulin infusion pumps. Dose regimens of NovoLog Mix 70/30 will vary among patients and should be determined by the health care professional familiar with the patient’s recommended glucose treatment goals, metabolic needs, eating habits, and other lifestyle variables.

2.2 Resuspension

NovoLog Mix 70/30 is a suspension that must be visually inspected and resuspended immediately before use. The NovoLog Mix 70/30 vial should be rolled gently in your hands in a horizontal position 10 times to mix it. The rolling procedure must be repeated until the suspension appears uniformly white and cloudy. Inject immediately. Resuspension is easier when the insulin has reached room temperature.

The NovoLog Mix 70/30 FlexPen should be rolled 10 times gently between your hands in a horizontal position. Thereafter, turn the NovoLog Mix 70/30 FlexPen upside down so that the glass ball moves from one end of the reservoir to the other. Do this at least 10 times. The rolling and turning procedure must be repeated until the suspension appears uniformly white and cloudy. Inject immediately. Before each subsequent injection, turn the disposable NovoLog Mix 70/30 FlexPen upside down so that the glass ball moves from one end of the reservoir to the other at least 10 times and until the suspension appears uniformly white and cloudy. Inject immediately.

Enter section text here

5.1 Administration

The short and long-acting components of insulin mixes, including NovoLog Mix 70/30, cannot be titrated independently. Because NovoLog Mix 70/30 has peak pharmacodynamic activity between 1-4 hours after injection, it should be administered within 15 minutes of meal initiation [see Clinical Pharmacology (12)]. The dose of insulin required to provide adequate glycemic control for one of the meals may result in hyper- or hypoglycemia for the other meal. The pharmacodynamic profile may also be inadequate for patients who require more frequent meals.

NovoLog Mix 70/30 should not be mixed with any other insulin product.

NovoLog Mix 70/30 should not be used intravenously.

NovoLog Mix 70/30 should not be used in insulin infusion pumps.

Glucose monitoring is recommended for all patients with diabetes. Any change of insulin dose should be made cautiously and only under medical supervision. Changing from one insulin product to another or changing the insulin strength may result in the need for a change in dosage. Changes may also be necessary during illness, emotional stress, and other physiologic stress in addition to changes in meals and exercise.

The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of all insulins may be altered by the site used for injection and the degree of vascularization of the site. Smoking, temperature, and exercise contribute to variations in blood flow and insulin absorption. These and other factors contribute to inter- and intra-patient variability.

Needles and NovoLog Mix 70/30 FlexPen must not be shared.

5.2 Hypoglycemia

Hypoglycemia is the most common adverse effect of insulin therapy, including NovoLog Mix 70/30. Severe hypoglycemia may lead to unconsciousness and/or convulsions and may result in temporary or permanent impairment of brain function or even death. Severe hypoglycemia requiring the assistance of another person and/or parenteral glucose infusion or glucagon administration has been observed in clinical trials with insulin, including trials with NovoLog Mix 70/30.

The timing of hypoglycemia may reflect the time-action profile of the insulin formulation [see Clinical Pharmacology (12)]. Other factors, such as changes in dietary intake (e.g., amount of food or timing of meals), injection site, exercise, and concomitant medications may also alter the risk of hypoglycemia [see Drug Interactions (7)]. As with all insulins, use caution in patients with hypoglycemia unawareness and in patients who may be predisposed to hypoglycemia (e.g. patients who are fasting or have erratic food intake). The patient’s ability to concentrate and react may be impaired as a result of hypoglycemia. This may present a risk in situations where these abilities are especially important, such as driving or operating machinery.

Rapid changes in serum glucose levels may induce symptoms of hypoglycemia in persons with diabetes, regardless of the glucose value. Early warning symptoms of hypoglycemia may be different or less pronounced under certain conditions, such as long duration of diabetes, diabetic nerve disease, use of medications such as beta-blockers, or intensified diabetes control [see Drug Interactions (7)].

5.3 Hypokalemia

All insulin products, including NovoLog Mix 70/30, cause a shift in potassium from the extracellular to intracellular space, possibly leading to hypokalemia that, if left untreated, may cause respiratory paralysis, ventricular arrhythmia, and death. Use caution in patients who may be at risk for hypokalemia (e.g. patients using potassium-lowering medications or patients taking medications sensitive to potassium concentrations).

5.4 Renal Impairment

Clinical or pharmacology studies with NovoLog Mix 70/30 in diabetic patients with various degrees of renal impairment have not been conducted. As with other insulins, the requirements for NovoLog Mix 70/30 may be reduced in patients with renal impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

5.5 Hepatic Impairment

Clinical or pharmacology studies with NovoLog Mix 70/30 in diabetic patients with various degrees of hepatic impairment have not been conducted. As with other insulins, the requirements for NovoLog Mix 70/30 may be reduced in patients with hepatic impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

5.6 Hypersensitivity and Allergic Reactions

Local Reactions- As with other insulin therapy, patients may experience reactions such as erythema, edema or pruritus at the site of NovoLog Mix 70/30 injection. These reactions usually resolve in a few days to a few weeks, but in some occasions, may require discontinuation of NovoLog Mix 70/30. In some instances, these reactions may be related to the insulin molecule, other components in the insulin preparation including protamine and cresol, components in skin cleansing agents, or injection techniques. Localized reactions and generalized myalgias have been reported with the use of cresol as an injectable excipient.

Systemic Reactions- Less common, but potentially more serious, is generalized allergy to insulin, which may cause rash (including pruritus) over the whole body, shortness of breath, wheezing, reduction in blood pressure, rapid pulse, or sweating. Severe cases of generalized allergy, including anaphylactic reaction, may be life threatening.

5.7 Antibody Production

Specific anti-insulin antibodies as well as cross-reacting anti-insulin antibodies were monitored in a 3-month, open-label comparator trial as well as in a long-term extension trial. Changes in cross-reactive antibodies were more common after NovoLog Mix 70/30 than with Novolin 70/30 but these changes did not correlate with change in HbA1c or increase in insulin dose. The clinical significance of these antibodies has not been established. Antibodies did not increase further after long-term exposure (>6 months) to NovoLog Mix 70/30.

Clinical Trial Experience

Clinical trials are conducted under widely varying designs, therefore, the adverse reaction rates reported in one clinical trial may not be easily compared to those rates reported in another clinical trial, and may not reflect the rates actually observed in clinical practice.

Hypoglycemia

Hypoglycemia is the most commonly observed adverse reaction in patients using insulin, including NovoLog Mix 70/30 [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. NovoLog Mix 70/30 should not be used during episodes of hypoglycemia [see Contraindications (4)] and [Warnings and Precautions (5)].

Insulin initiation and glucose control intensification

Intensification or rapid improvement in glucose control has been associated with transitory, reversible ophthalmologic refraction disorder, worsening of diabetic retinopathy, and acute painful peripheral neuropathy. However, long-term glycemic control decreases the risk of diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy.

Lipodystrophy

Long-term use of insulin, including NovoLog Mix 70/30, can cause lipodystrophy at the site of repeated insulin injections. Lipodystrophy includes lipohypertrophy (thickening of adipose tissue) and lipoatrophy (thinning of adipose tissue), and may affect insulin absorption. Rotate insulin injection sites within the same region to reduce the risk of lipodystrophy.

Weight gain

Weight gain can occur with some insulin therapies, including NovoLog Mix 70/30, and has been attributed to the anabolic effects of insulin and the decrease in glycosuria.

Peripheral Edema

Insulin may cause sodium retention and edema, particularly if previously poor metabolic control is improved by intensified insulin therapy.

Frequencies of adverse drug reactions

The frequencies of adverse drug reactions during a clinical trial with NovoLog Mix 70/30 in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus are listed in the tables below. The trial was a three-month, open-label trial in patients with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes who were treated twice daily (before breakfast and before supper) with NovoLog Mix 70/30.

Postmarketing Data

Additional adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of NovoLog Mix 70/30. Because these adverse reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is generally not possible to reliably estimate their frequency. They include medication errors in which other insulins have been accidentally substituted for NovoLog Mix 70/30 [see Patient Counseling Information (17)].

8.1 Pregnancy

Pregnancy Category B.

All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defects, loss, or other adverse outcome regardless of drug exposure. This background risk is increased in pregnancies complicated by hyperglycemia and may be decreased with good metabolic control. It is essential for patients with diabetes or history of gestational diabetes to maintain good metabolic control before conception and throughout pregnancy. Insulin requirements may decrease during the first trimester, generally increase during the second and third trimesters, and rapidly decline after delivery. Careful monitoring of glucose control is essential in such patients.

An open-label, randomized study compared the safety and efficacy of NovoLog (the rapid-acting component of NovoLog Mix 70/30) versus human insulin in the treatment of pregnant women with Type 1 diabetes (322 exposed pregnancies (NovoLog: 157, human insulin: 165)). Two-thirds of the enrolled patients were already pregnant when they entered the study. Since only one-third of the patients enrolled before conception, the study was not large enough to evaluate the risk of congenital malformations. Mean HbA1c of ~ 6% was observed in both groups during pregnancy, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of maternal hypoglycemia.

Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with NovoLog Mix 70/30. However, subcutaneous reproduction and teratology studies have been performed with NovoLog (the rapid-acting component of NovoLog Mix 70/30) and regular human insulin in rats and rabbits. In these studies, NovoLog was given to female rats before mating, during mating, and throughout pregnancy, and to rabbits during organogenesis. The effects of NovoLog did not differ from those observed with subcutaneous regular human insulin.

NovoLog, like human insulin, caused pre- and post-implantation losses and visceral/skeletal abnormalities in rats at a dose of 200 U/kg/day (approximately 32-times the human subcutaneous dose of 1.0 U/kg/day, based on U/body surface area), and in rabbits at a dose of 10 U/kg/day (approximately three times the human subcutaneous dose of 1.0 U/kg/day, based on U/body surface area). The effects are probably secondary to maternal hypoglycemia at high doses. No significant effects were observed in rats at a dose of 50 U/kg/day and rabbits at a dose of 3 U/kg/day. These doses are approximately 8 times the human subcutaneous dose of 1.0 U/kg/day for rats and equal to the human subcutaneous dose of 1.0 U/kg/day for rabbits based on U/body surface area.

Female patients should be advised to discuss with their physician if they intend to, or if they become pregnant. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of the use of NovoLog Mix 70/30 in pregnant women.

8.2 Nursing Mothers

It is unknown whether insulin aspart is excreted in human milk as occurs with human insulin. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of the use of NovoLog Mix 70/30 or NovoLog in lactating women. Women with diabetes who are lactating may require adjustments of their insulin doses.

8.4 Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness of NovoLog Mix 70/30 have not been established in pediatric patients.

8.5 Geriatric Use

Clinical studies of NovoLog Mix 70/30 did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently than younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy in this population.

Hypoglycemia may occur as a result of an excess of insulin relative to food intake, energy expenditure, or both. Mild episodes of hypoglycemia usually can be treated with oral glucose. Adjustments in drug dosage, meal patterns, or exercise, may be needed. More severe episodes with coma, seizure, or neurologic impairment may be treated with intramuscular/subcutaneous glucagon or concentrated intravenous glucose. Sustained carbohydrate intake and observation may be necessary because hypoglycemia may recur after apparent clinical recovery.

11 DESCRIPTION
NovoLog Mix 70/30 (70% insulin aspart protamine suspension and - 30% insulin aspart injection, [rDNA origin]) is a human insulin analog - suspension containing 70% insulin aspart protamine crystals ...

NovoLog Mix 70/30 (70% insulin aspart protamine suspension and 30% insulin aspart injection, [rDNA origin]) is a human insulin analog suspension containing 70% insulin aspart protamine crystals and 30% soluble insulin aspart. NovoLog Mix 70/30 is a blood glucose-lowering agent with an earlier onset and an intermediate duration of action. Insulin aspart is homologous with regular human insulin with the exception of a single substitution of the amino acid proline by aspartic acid in position B28, and is produced by recombinant DNA technology utilizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast). Insulin aspart (NovoLog) has the empirical formula C256H381N65O79S6 and a molecular weight of 5825.8 Da.

Figure 1. Structural formula of insulin aspart

NovoLog Mix 70/30 is a uniform, white, sterile suspension that contains insulin aspart 100 Units/mL.

Inactive ingredients for the 10 mL vial are mannitol 36.4 mg/mL, phenol 1.50 mg/mL, metacresol 1.72 mg/mL, zinc 19.6 μg/mL, disodium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate 1.25 mg/mL, sodium chloride 0.58 mg/mL, and protamine sulfate 0.32 mg/mL.

Enter section text here

12.1 Mechanism of Action

The primary activity of NovoLog Mix 70/30 is the regulation of glucose metabolism. Insulins, including NovoLog Mix 70/30, bind to the insulin receptors on muscle, liver and fat cells and lower blood glucose by facilitating the cellular uptake of glucose and simultaneously inhibiting the output of glucose from the liver.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics

The two euglycemic clamp studies described below [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] assessed glucose utilization after dosing of healthy volunteers. NovoLog Mix 70/30 has an earlier onset of action than human premix 70/30 in studies of normal volunteers and patients with diabetes. The onset of action is between 10-20 minutes for NovoLog Mix 70/30 compared to 30 minutes for Novolin 70/30. The mean ± SD time to peak activity for NovoLog Mix 70/30 is 2.4 hr ± 0.8hr compared to 4.2 hr ± 0.4 hr for Novolin 70/30. The duration of action may be as long as 24 hours (see Figure 2).

Figure 2. Pharmacodynamic Activity Profile of NovoLog Mix 70/30 and Novolin 70/30 in healthy subjects.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics

The single substitution of the amino acid proline with aspartic acid at position B28 in insulin aspart (NovoLog) reduces the molecule’s tendency to form hexamers as observed with regular human insulin. The rapid absorption characteristics of NovoLog are maintained by NovoLog Mix 70/30. The insulin aspart in the soluble component of NovoLog Mix 70/30 is absorbed more rapidly from the subcutaneous layer than regular human insulin. The remaining 70% is in crystalline form as insulin aspart protamine which has a prolonged absorption profile after subcutaneous injection.

Bioavailability and Absorption- The relative bioavailability of NovoLog Mix 70/30 compared to NovoLog and Novolin 70/30 indicates that the insulins are absorbed to similar extent. In euglycemic clamp studies in healthy volunteers (n=23) after dosing with NovoLog Mix 70/30 (0.2 U/kg), a mean maximum serum concentration (Cmax) of 23.4 ± 5.3 mU/L was reached after 60 minutes. The mean half-life (t1/2) of NovoLog Mix 70/30 was about 8 to 9 hours. Serum insulin levels returned to baseline 15 to 18 hours after a subcutaneous dose of NovoLog Mix 70/30. Similar data were seen in a separate euglycemic clamp study in healthy volunteers (n=24) after dosing with NovoLog Mix 70/30 (0.3 U/kg). A Cmax of 61.3 ± 20.1 mU/L was reached after 85 minutes. Serum insulin levels returned to baseline 12 hours after a subcutaneous dose.

The Cmax and the area under the insulin concentration-time curve (AUC) after administration of NovoLog Mix 70/30 was approximately 20% greater than those after administration of Novolin 70/30, (see Fig. 3 for pharmacokinetic profiles).

Figure 3. Pharmacokinetic Profiles of NovoLog Mix 70/30 and Novolin 70/30

Distribution and Elimination- NovoLog has a low binding to plasma proteins, 0 to 9%, similar to regular human insulin. After subcutaneous administration in normal male volunteers (n=24), NovoLog was more rapidly eliminated than regular human insulin with an average apparent half-life of 81 minutes compared to 141 minutes for regular human insulin.

The effect of sex, age, obesity, ethnic origin, renal and hepatic impairment, pregnancy, or smoking, on the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of NovoLog Mix 70/30 has not been studied.

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

Standard 2-year carcinogenicity studies in animals have not been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of NovoLog Mix 70/30. In 52-week studies, Sprague-Dawley rats were dosed subcutaneously with NovoLog, the rapid-acting component of NovoLog Mix 70/30, at 10, 50, and 200 U/kg/day (approximately 2, 8, and 32 times the human subcutaneous dose of 1.0 U/kg/day, based on U/body surface area, respectively). At a dose of 200 U/kg/day, NovoLog increased the incidence of mammary gland tumors in females when compared to untreated controls. The incidence of mammary tumors found with NovoLog was not significantly different from that found with regular human insulin. The relevance of these findings to humans is not known.

NovoLog was not genotoxic in the following tests: Ames test, mouse lymphoma cell forward gene mutation test, human peripheral blood lymphocyte chromosome aberration test, in vivo micronucleus test in mice, and in ex vivo UDS test in rat liver hepatocytes.

In fertility studies in male and female rats, NovoLog at subcutaneous doses up to 200 U/kg/day (approximately 32 times the human subcutaneous dose, based on U/body surface area) had no direct adverse effects on male and female fertility, or on general reproductive performance of animals.

13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology

In standard biological assays in mice and rabbits, one unit of NovoLog has the same glucose-lowering effect as one unit of regular human insulin. However, the effect of NovoLog Mix 70/30 is more rapid in onset compared to Novolin (human insulin) 70/30 due to its faster absorption after subcutaneous injection.

14.1 NovoLog Mix 70/30 versus Novolin 70/30

In a three-month, open-label trial, patients with Type 1 (n=104) or Type 2 (n=187) diabetes were treated twice daily (before breakfast and before supper) with NovoLog Mix 70/30 or Novolin 70/30. Patients had received insulin for at least 24 months before the study. Oral hypoglycemic agents were not allowed within 1 month prior to the study or during the study. The small changes in HbA1c were comparable across the treatment groups (see Table 3).

Table 3: Glycemic Parameters at the End of Treatment [Mean ± SD (N subjects)]

HbA1c (%) Week 12	7.9 ± 1.0 (81)	8.1 ± 1.1 (96)

The significance, with respect to the long-term clinical sequelae of diabetes, of the differences in postprandial hyperglycemia between treatment groups has not been established.

Specific anti-insulin antibodies as well as cross-reacting anti-insulin antibodies were monitored in the 3-month, open-label comparator trial as well as in a long-term extension trial.

14.2 Combination Therapy: Insulin and Oral Agents in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Trial 1:

In a 34-week, open-label trial, insulin-naïve patients with type 2 diabetes currently treated with 2 oral antidiabetic agents were switched to treatment with metformin and pioglitazone. During an 8-week optimization period metformin and pioglitazone were increased to 2500 mg per day and 30 or 45 mg per day, respectively. After the optimization period, subjects were randomized to receive either NovoLog Mix 70/30 twice daily added on to the metformin and pioglitazone regimen or continue the current optimized metformin and pioglitazone therapy. NovoLog Mix 70/30 was started at a dose of 6 IU twice daily (before breakfast and before supper). Insulin doses were titrated to a pre-meal glucose goal of 80-110 mg/dL. The total daily insulin dose at the end of the study was 56.9 ± 30.5 IU.

*Adjusted mean per group, treatment difference, and 95% CI were obtained based on an ANCOVA model with treatment, FPG stratum, and secretagogue stratum as fixed factors and baseline HbA1c as the covariate.

**If metabolic control is improved by intensified insulin therapy, an increased risk of hypoglycemia and weight gain may occur.

Trial 2:

In a 28-week, open-label trial, insulin-naïve patients with type 2 diabetes with fasting plasma glucose above 140 mg/dL currently treated with metformin ± thiazolidinedione therapy were randomized to receive either NovoLog Mix 70/30 twice daily [before breakfast and before supper] or insulin glargine once daily1 (see Table 5). NovoLog Mix 70/30 was started at an average dose of 5-6 IU (0.07 ± 0.03 IU/kg) twice daily (before breakfast and before supper), and bedtime insulin glargine was started at 10-12 IU (0.13 ± 0.03 IU/kg). Insulin doses were titrated weekly by decrements or increments of -2 to +6 units per injection to a pre-meal glucose goal of 80-110 mg/dL. The metformin dose was adjusted to 2550 mg/day. Approximately one-third of the patients in each group were also treated with pioglitazone (30 mg/day). Insulin secretagogues were discontinued in order to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia. Most patients were Caucasian (53%), and the mean initial weight was 90 kg.

[see FDA-Approved Patient Labeling]

17.1 Physicians Instructions

Maintenance of normal or near-normal glucose control is a treatment goal in diabetes mellitus and has been associated with a reduction in diabetic complications. Patients should be informed about potential risks and advantages of NovoLog Mix 70/30 therapy including the possible adverse reactions. Patients should also be offered continued education and advice on insulin therapies, injection technique, life-style management, regular glucose monitoring, periodic glycosylated hemoglobin testing, recognition and management of hypo- and hyperglycemia, adherence to meal planning, complications of insulin therapy, timing of dose, instruction for use of injection devices, and proper storage of insulin. See Patient Information supplied with the product. Patients should be informed that frequent, patient-performed blood glucose measurements are needed to achieve optimal glycemic control and avoid both hyper- and hypoglycemia, and diabetic ketoacidosis.

The patient’s ability to concentrate and react may be impaired as a result of hypoglycemia. This may present a risk in situations where these abilities are especially important, such as driving or operating other machinery. Patients who have frequent hypoglycemia or reduced or absent warning signs of hypoglycemia should be advised to use caution when driving or operating machinery.

Accidental substitutions between NovoLog Mix 70/30 and other insulin products have been reported. Patients should be instructed to always carefully check that they are administering the appropriate insulin to avoid medication errors between NovoLog Mix 70/30 and any other insulin. The prescription for NovoLog Mix 70/30 should be written clearly in order to avoid confusion with other insulin products, for example, NovoLog or Novolin 70/30. In addition, the written prescription should clearly indicate the presentation, for example FlexPen or vial.

PATIENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

NovoLog® Mix 70/30 10 mL vial (100 Units/mL, U-100)

Read the following Patient Instructions for Use carefully before you start using your NovoLog® Mix 70/30 10mL vial and each time you get a refill. There may be new information. You should read the instructions even if you have used NovoLog® Mix 70/30 10mL vials before.

Before starting, gather all of the supplies that you will need to use for preparing and giving your insulin injection.

Never re-use syringes and needles.

How should I prepare and deliver the injection using the NovoLog® Mix 70/30 10 mL vial?
1. Check to make sure you have the correct type of insulin. This is especially important if you use different types of insulin.
2. Look at the vial and the insulin. The insulin should be white and cloudy after mixing. The tamper-resistant cap should be on the vial before the first use. If the cap has already been removed before your first use of the vial, or if the insulin looks clear or contains any particles, do not use it and return it to your pharmacy.
3. Wash your hands with soap and water. Clean your injection site with an alcohol swab and 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.
4. If you are using a new vial, pull off the tamper-resistant cap. Wipe the rubber stopper with an alcohol swab.
5. Roll the vial gently 10 times in your hands to mix it. This should be done with the vial in a horizontal (flat) position between your palms. Do not shake the vial. Shaking right before the dose is drawn into the syringe may cause bubbles or foam. This can cause you to draw up the wrong dose of insulin. The insulin should be used only if it looks white and cloudy.
6. Pull back the plunger on the syringe until the black tip reaches the marking for the number of units you will inject.
7. Push the needle through the rubber stopper into the vial, and push the plunger all the way in to force air into the vial.
8. Turn the vial and syringe upside down and slowly pull the plunger back to a few units beyond the correct dose needed.
9. If there are air bubbles in the syringe, tap the syringe gently with your finger to raise the air bubbles to the top. Slowly push the plunger to the marking for your dose. This should move any air bubbles in the syringe back into the vial.
10. Check to make sure you have the right dose of NovoLog® Mix 70/30 in the syringe.
11. Pull the syringe out of the vial’s rubber stopper.
12. If there is a delay after you rolled the vial, you will have to roll it again to remix the insulin and redraw your medicine. Your healthcare provider should tell you if you need to pinch the skin before inserting the needle. This can be different from person to person so it is important to ask your doctor if you did not receive instructions on pinching the skin. Insert the needle into the skin right away. Push the plunger to inject the insulin under your skin. Keep the needle under your skin for at least 6 seconds to make sure you have injected all the insulin. When you are finished injecting the insulin, pull the needle out of your skin.
13. Your may see a drop of NovoLog® Mix 70/30 at the needle tip. This is normal and has no effect on the dose you just received. If blood appears after you pull the needle from your skin, press the injection site lightly with an alcohol swab. Do not rub the area. Do not recap the needle.
14. After the injection, dispose of the needle and syringe in a puncture-resistant container. Place used syringes, needles, and insulin vials in a disposable puncture-resistant sharps container, or some type of hard plastic or metal container with a screw on cap such as a detergent bottle or coffee can.
15. 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 recycling bins.

PATIENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen®

Read the following instructions carefully before you start using your NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® and each time you get a refill. There may be new information. You should read the instructions even if you have used Novolog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® before.

NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® is a disposable dial-a-dose insulin pen. You can select doses from 1 to 60 units in increments of 1 unit. NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® is designed to be used with NovoFine® needles.

NovoLog Mix® 70/30 FlexPen® should not be used by people who are blind or have severe visual problems without the help of a person who has good eyesight and who is trained to use the NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® the right way.

Getting ready

Make sure you have the following items:
- NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen®
- New NovoFine® needle
- Alcohol swab
PREPARING YOUR NOVOLOG® MIX 70/30 FLEXPEN®
- Wash your hands with soap and water.
- Before you start to prepare your injection, check the label to make sure that you are taking the right type of insulin. This is especially important if you take more than 1 type of insulin. NovoLog® Mix 70/30 should look cloudy after mixing.
Before your first injection with a new NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® you must mix the insulin:

A. Let the insulin reach room temperature before you use it. This makes it easier to mix.

Pull off the pen cap (see diagram A).

B. Roll the pen between your palms 10 times - it is important that the pen is kept horizontal (see diagram B).

C. Then gently move the pen up and down ten times between position 1 and 2 as shown, so the glass ball moves from one end of the cartridge to the other (see diagram C).

Repeat rolling and moving the pen until the liquid appears white and cloudy.

For every following injection move the pen up and down between positions 1 and 2 at least ten times until the liquid appears white and cloudy.

After mixing, complete all the following steps of the injection right away. If there is a delay, the insulin will need to be mixed again.

Wipe the rubber stopper with an alcohol swab.

Δ Before you inject, there must be at least 12 units of insulin left in the cartridge to make sure the remaining insulin is evenly mixed. If there are less than 12 units left, use a new NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen®.

Attaching the needle

D. Remove the protective tab from a disposable needle.

Screw the needle tightly onto your NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen®. It is important that the needle is put on straight (see diagram D).

Never place a disposable needle on your NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® until you are ready to take your injection.

E. Pull off the big outer needle cap (see diagram E).

F. Pull off the inner needle cap and dispose of it (see diagram F).

Δ Always use a new needle for each injection to help ensure sterility and prevent blocked needles.

Δ Be careful not to bend or damage the needle before use.

Δ To reduce the risk of a needle stick, never put the inner needle cap back on the needle.

Giving the airshot before each injection

Before each injection small amounts of air may collect in the cartridge during normal use. To avoid injecting air and to make sure you take the right dose of insulin:

G. Turn the dose selector to select 2 units (see diagram G).

H. Hold your NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® with the needle pointing up. Tap the cartridge gently with your finger a few times to make any air bubbles collect at the top of the cartridge (see diagram H).

I. Keep the needle pointing upwards, press the push-button all the way in (see diagram I). The dose selector returns to 0.

A drop of insulin should appear at the needle tip. If not, change the needle and repeat the procedure no more than 6 times.

If you do not see a drop of insulin after 6 times, do not use the NovoLog Mix® 70/30 FlexPen® and contact Novo Nordisk at 1-800-727-6500.

A small air bubble may remain at the needle tip, but it will not be injected.

SELECTING YOUR DOSE

Check and make sure that the dose selector is set at 0.

J. Turn the dose selector to the number of units you need to inject. The pointer should line up with your dose.

The dose can be corrected either up or down by turning the dose selector in either direction until the correct dose lines up with the pointer (see diagram J). When turning the dose selector, be careful not to press the push-button as insulin will come out.

You cannot select a dose larger than the number of units left in the cartridge.

You will hear a click for every single unit dialed. Do not set the dose by counting the number of clicks you hear.

Δ Do not use the cartridge scale printed on the cartridge to measure your dose of insulin.

GIVING THE INJECTION

Do the injection exactly as shown to you by your healthcare provider. Your healthcare provider should tell you if you need to pinch the skin before injecting. Wipe the skin with an alcohol swab and let the area dry.

K. Insert the needle into your skin.

Inject the dose by pressing the push-button all the way in until the 0 lines up with the pointer (see diagram K). Be careful only to push the button when injecting.

Turning the dose selector will not inject insulin.

L. Keep the needle in the skin for at least 6 seconds, and keep the push-button pressed all the way in until the needle has been pulled out from the skin (see diagram L). This will make sure that the full dose has been given.

You may see a drop of NovoLog® Mix 70/30 at the needle tip. This is normal and has no effect on the dose you just received. If blood appears after you take the needle out of your skin, press the injection site lightly with an alcohol swab. Do not rub the area.

After the injection

Do not recap the needle. Recapping can lead to a needle stick injury. Remove the needle from the NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® after each injection. This helps to prevent infection, leakage of insulin, and will help to make sure you inject the right dose of insulin.

Δ Put the needle and any empty NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® or any used NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® still containing insulin in a sharps container or some type of hard plastic or metal container with a screw top such as a detergent bottle or empty coffee can. These containers should be sealed and thrown away the right way. Check with your healthcare provider about the right way to throw away used syringes and needles. There may be local or state laws about how to throw away used needles and syringes. Do not throw away used needles and syringes in household trash or recycling bins.

The NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® prevents the cartridge from being completely emptied. It is designed to deliver 300 units.

M. Put the pen cap on the NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® and store the NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® without the needle attached (see diagram M).

FUNCTION CHECK

N. If your NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® is not working the right way, follow the steps below:
- Screw on a new NovoFine® needle.
- Remove the big outer needle cap and the inner needle cap.
- Do an airshot as described in "Giving the airshot before each injection".
- Put the big outer needle cap onto the needle. Do not put on the inner needle cap.
- Turn the dose selector so the dose indicator window shows 20 units.
- Hold the NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® so the needle is pointing down.
- Press the push-button all the way in.
The insulin should fill the lower part of the big outer needle cap (see diagram N). If NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® has released too much or too little insulin, do the function check again. If the same problem happens again, do not use your NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® and contact Novo Nordisk at 1-800-727-6500.

Maintenance

Your NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® is designed to work accurately and safely. It must be handled with care. Avoid dropping your NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® as it may damage it. If you are concerned that your NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® is damaged, use a new one. You can clean the outside of your NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® by wiping it with a damp cloth. Do not soak or wash your NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® as it may damage it. Do not refill your NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen®.

Δ Remove the needle from the NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® after each injection. This helps to ensure sterility, prevent leakage of insulin, and will help to make sure you inject the right dose of insulin for future injections.

Δ Be careful when handling used needles to avoid needle sticks and transfer of infectious diseases.

Δ Keep your NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® and needles out of the reach of children.

Δ Use NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® as directed to treat your diabetes. Needles and NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® must not be shared.

Δ Always use a new needle for each injection.

Δ Novo Nordisk is not responsible for harm due to using this insulin pen with products not recommended by Novo Nordisk.

Δ As a precautionary measure, always carry a spare insulin delivery device in case your NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® is lost or damaged.

Remember to keep the disposable NovoLog® Mix 70/30 FlexPen® with you. Do not leave it in a car or other location where it can get too hot or too cold.
