Novolin N (NPH Insulin) Prescriptions Available Online Today

Novolin N is often used in combination with short acting insulin to reduce blood sugar levels. This works because as an intermediate-acting insulin, Novolin N takes longer to have an effect on your body, however it lasts longer.

Novolin N typically begins working around 1.5 hours after injection, peaks from 4 to 12 hours, and works until 18 hours later. These may vary based on the individual, but are approximately the times Novolin N is designed to function.

Novolin N replicates the function of naturally produced insulin to stimulate your organs and tissue to take in more glucose from the bloodstream.

Follow your doctor's specific instructions as dosage may vary based on individual factors.

For those with type 1 diabetes Novolin N is administered subcutaneously either once or twice a day for a total dosage between 0.5 to 1 unit/kg.

For those with type 2 diabetes Novolin N is administered subcutaneously once or twice a day for a total dosage of 0.1 to 0.2 units/kg.
