Humulin R (Human Recombinant) Prescriptions Available Online Today

Short-acting insulin is used to prepare your body for times during the day when the glucose in your body spikes. This includes mealtimes, when your body processes the foods you eat. Humulin R is made to increase your insulin levels in sync with blood sugar spikes so as to boost the absorption of glucose from your blood into your tissues and organs.

Humulin R is a man-made replica of your body's naturally produced insulin and will perform the same task.

Humulin R is typically taken three times a day, approximately 30 minutes before meals. The exact dosage is highly individualized, and patients should always follow their doctor's exact treatment plan. Different physical factors such as age, size, diet, and medications will contribute to different dosage amounts, which may increase or decrease according to your needs.

Humulin R should be administered by subcutaneous injection into the abdominal wall, thigh, gluteal region, or upper arm. It may be helpful for you to pinch a fold of your skin up so as to avoid injection into a muscle. Keep in mind the duration and effectiveness of each dose may vary slightly based on injection site, dose, blood flow, and temperature.

Humulin R can help slow the progression of diabetes and reduce the many health complications posed by the disease. These include increased risk of stroke, heart and blood vessel damage, kidney failure, and blindness. Humulin R can help you regain control over your blood sugar levels, and shield your body from the dangers of hyperglycemia.

Keep in mind that Humulin R, like all insulin, is not a final solution to your diabetes. It is necessary to make key lifestyle changes that work with your medication to improve your health.

The most frequent side effect of Humulin R is hypoglycemia (or low blood pressure). Look out for signs such as:

When discussing medications with your doctor, it is necessary to give them as much information as you can. Keep a complete list of any other medications you are taking so that your doctor can help determine if Humulin R is safe for you.

Drug interactions occur when you take more than one drug at the same time.
