Novolin GE Toronto Vials are used to treat patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps reduce blood sugar levels to control hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Novolin GE Toronto is a fast-acting insulin that is usually used in combination with longer-acting insulin. Its duration can last up to 8 hours.
Novolin GE Toronto Vials contains 100 units of human biosynthetic insulin (regular insulin). It is produced by recombinant DNA technology and is structurally similar to the insulin produced in the body.
It also contains non-medical ingredients such as glycerol, metacresol, zinc chloride, sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, and water for injections.
Your required insulin dose should be based on your body’s insulin levels and how well your body can produce it. Your doctor will determine the appropriate amount based on your current health, lifestyle, medical conditions (i.e., thyroid, infections), illness, injury, stress, surgery, traveling, body weight, blood glucose values, and current medication regimen. Your doctor will monitor your glucose levels also to determine insulin dosage.
It is essential to follow your doctor’s instructions for taking insulin regularly. Do not modify how you take it without consulting your doctor first.
