Humulin S-a fast-acting, neutral, soluble insulin. Note package similarity of comparable insulin Insuman Rapid.


UK brand name for Lilly's short-acting r-DNA/GE/GM human insulin. [2][3][4][5]

The "S" in the product's name is an abbreviation for "soluble".

It's known in North America as Humulin R, [6][7] elsewhere as Huminsulin Normal, and can also be referred to as Toronto insulin instead of the R classification.

Both Novo Nordisk [8] and Aventis produce comparable insulins.

Novo's names for them are Actrapid [9][10][11] and Novolin R; Aventis' is Insuman Rapid [12][13] and Winthrop Rapid.

Like all R or neutral insulins, nothing is added (suspensions) to alter the insulin's action or speed. [14]

A short-acting, soluble, non-suspended insulin produced from r-DNA/GE/GM, bovine, or porcine sources. From 1921 to the 1930's when PZI was developed, R was the only kind of insulin available.

Human activity profile for r-DNA/GE/GM R (Regular)/Neutral insulin. See links for dog activity.

While both R/neutral and semilente insulins are considered fast-acting, they differ in a few ways. As above, there's no suspension or buffer [15] in R/neutral; it's totally dissolved and soluble, meaning it can safely be used intravenously. [16]

The very small insulin particles in semilente insulin are suspended by zinc. [15] Semilente is cloudy, has an acetate buffer and cannot be used intravenously.

R/Neutral insulin cannot be reliably mixed with Lente or Ultralente insulins. [17][18] Semilente can; the ratio of 3 parts semilente insulin to 7 parts ultralente insulin produces Lente insulin. [15]
