Insulins that appear cloudy or milky are actually insulin crystals in a suspension. They do not dissolve until they are injected under the skin, and must be re-suspended (carefully agitated) before each use.
|
These insulins must never be administered intravenously, and must never be allowed to contaminate clear, soluble insulin vials because they will change the action of the other insulin. | ||
