Time activity profile for 40/60 insulin.


An intermediate-acting, mixed insulin like Humulin 40/60, Huminsulin Profil IV, Humuline 40/60, Humulin M4, Penmix 40 and Mixtard 40 [2] of 40% R/neutral insulin and 60% NPH/isophane insulin[3] made by Eli Lilly. Humulina 40/60, like Mixtard 40 [4] contains 60% isophane insulin crystals.

Mixtard 40 was discontinued December 31, 2007. [5][6] Humulin 40/60 is also no longer available.

Mixed insulins cover a wide range as they can be animal origin, r-DNA/GE/GM origin or analog insulins. The non-analog mixed insulins are made up of intermediate-acting NPH/isophane insulin and short-acting R/neutral. normal insulin. The analog mixes are made from intermediate-acting protamine-suspended analog insulin (suspended similar to NPH/isophane insulin) and fast-acting analog insulin. They can also vary in the fraction (amount or percent) of the two types (R/neutral and NPH/isophane) of insulin used to make a non-analog mix, and in the percentage of fast/rapid-acting analog insulin and slower-acting protamine suspended analog insulin.

For some reason, those in the US choose to list the slower, NPH/isophane based insulin fraction first, such as Humulin or Novolin 70/30. The rest of the world gives the faster insulin top billing and the result is 30/70. Regardless of how this is written, it means that the insulin is made up of 70% NPH/isophane insulin and 30% R/neutral insulin.

The most common mixes are 70/30 (30/70) (non analog) or 75/25 (25/75) (analog). There are no currently-marketed mixes which combine insulins of different origins. Eli Lilly's form of beef/pork Iletin and Novo Nordisk's Lentard were discontinued some time ago. Here are the most common ones that could cause confusion:
