My dog is on Novolin N (100 units) 10 ml. I give her 6 units every 12 hours. My question is the syringe. I am using a 3/10 ml/cc syringe. Is this the correct syringe for this insulin?

Administration of Novolin N should be done with U100 syringes to ensure your pet gets the correct dosage. The 3/10 ml/cc (U100) syringe is the best syringe for you to be using for your dog. Overall you want to use the smallest volume of syringe in order to make the dose easier to measure. The 3/10 ml/cc is the smallest insulin syringes are available in.

Ive been using Novolin 70/30 for my dog for the past year giving every 12 hrs but after reading the article on this page i was wondering if it could be given every 24 hrs. He sleeps a lot could this mean he is getting to much I spot check him for a monitorI have done a curve in the past but not every day, seems like with this insulin the readings go up then down then up have never waited 24 to do a check to see where it would be for 24 hrs. Thank you in advance for the reply

Please consult your veterinarian regarding the dosing and administration of Novolin for your dog. Specific recommendations regarding dosing interval and changes to dosing can only be made by your veterinarian. Continue to follow up with all lab appointment and monitor blood glucose as instructed.

I just bought, relion novolin R. My cat has diabetes, that orange cap on the insulin bottle will not snap back on, and do I need to keep it in the fridge? The instructions I have are not right, one says keep in fridge, the other says room temperature after opened. Please help me so this insulin stays good, cannot afford to get another one till next month!

Unopened bottles of Novolin should be kept refrigerated 36° to 46° F (2° to 8° C). Once you have opened the bottle, It should be kept at room temperature below 77°F (25°C) for up to 6 weeks (42 days), away from direct heat or light. The orange cap is a safety seal that can be discarded when opening the bottle.

once the bottle is opened is there and expiration number of days for the novolin n insulin or do I use till bottle is empty

Unopened vials of Novolin N Insulin can be stored in the refrigerator between 2 and 8°C (36-46°F) until the product expiration date found on the vial. Vials should never be frozen. Once opened, vials can be stored at room temperature for 42 days. Discard any unused product 42 days after opening.

My Dogs fur is coming out by the handfuls after using this medication for the past three months. Is this normal.

Manufacturers of veterinary insulin have observed hair loss in cats in studies of their medication though they were unable to determine if the observation was a result of the medication, underlying condition, or disease state. There have been reports of hair loss associated with the use of insulin in dogs by other pet owners and veterinary professionals. It would be in your best interest to contact your veterinarian to discuss your pet's condition. Thank you, VetRxDirect

My dog has started itching since being on this insulin! Is she allergic to it? If so what should she be switched to? She is miserable. The vet has tried steroids and antibiotics but I am concerned if it is her insulin.

Novolin N is a human labelled insulin that many veterinarians use for pets. While it is very unlikely that your pet is allergic, there still may be a product within the insulin your dog may be reacting to. We understand the frustration of trying numerous products and not getting rid of the itching. We would suggest having a discussion with your veterinarian about options of switching to a different insulin of their choice. There are other human labelled products and animal labelled products like vetsulin which may work for your dog. Thank you, VetRxDirect

I can buy Novolin N (100 units) at Walmart for $25.00, why is there such a large cost difference in your pricing for the same insulin? I really liked your products before and would like to continue using your services>

Bill, The cost of Novolin N depends on the acquisition cost for a pharmacy, which depends on the distributor and manufacturer prices. Often times the published prices of a medication at a human pharmacy take into account insurance payments, and may not consider orders for pets paid for without insurance. Our current price accurately reflects the current acquisition cost. We do periodically update prices as costs change. Thank you, VetRxDirect

JUST FOUND OUT MY CAT HAS DIABETES. MY VET PRESCRIBED LANTUS FOR HIM. CAN I USE NOVOLIN INSTEAD. THANKYOU FOR YOUR ADVICE

Kristine, Novolin is considered a short acting insulin. Lantus is considered a long acting insulin. They would not be considered interchangeable. Maintaining proper blood glucose control is the goal and cats will need to be monitored closely. Follow directions from your veterinarian on injection schedule, dose, and blood glucose monitoring frequency to ensure optimal results in treating your cats diabetes. Thank you, VetRxDirect

What is Novolin Insulin by Novo Nordisk for Dogs and Cats?

Insulin is a hormone that is naturally produced by the pancreas to convert sugar (glucose) in the blood to energy for the body.
Insulin therapy is prescribed to dogs and cats with diabetes. Diabetic animals are either unable to produce their own insulin or cannot use it properly.
Insulin helps treat diabetes in cats and dogs by normalizing the glucose level in the blood.
Novolin is a U-100 insulin. U-100 means that each milliliter of insulin is divided into 100 dosing units.
The insulin in Novolin R is called Regular insulin. Regular insulin is a regular or short-acting insulin.
The insulin in Novolin N is called NPH insulin. NPH insulin is an intermediate-acting insulin.
Novolin 70/30 combines Regular and NPH insulin. It contains 70% NPH and 30% Regular.

Why do cats and dogs use Novolin?

Insulin is prescribed to dogs and cats with diabetes mellitus to help lower their blood sugar.
Insulin is an ongoing, supportive treatment for diabetes.

What else should I know about Novolin?

What problems could my dog or cat have with Novolin?

Insulin overdoses may be fatal. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your dog or cat is not acting normally.
Signs of low blood sugar include weakness, depression, lack of energy, sluggishness, stumbling when walking, behavior changes, muscle twitching, seizures, or coma. It is a medical emergency if your cat or dog is unconscious or having a seizure.

How do you use Novolin?

Insulin works best when given regularly - at the same times each day and in the same way regarding feeding, such as always after a meal. Follow your veterinarian's directions.
Double check the dose every time before you give the insulin to prevent overdoses.
Keep a source of easily given sugar, such as corn syrup or honey, on hand at all times in case of low blood sugar. Follow your veterinarian's suggestions.

What is in Novolin?

There are different kinds of insulin classified by how quickly they work, how long they last, or when they have peak effectiveness.
The drug in Novolin R is called Regular insulin. Regular Insulin is a type of regular or short-acting insulin. Regular or short-acting insulin reaches the bloodstream within 30 minutes after injection, peaks 2 to 3 hours later, and tends to last for about 3 to 6 hours.

Novolin 70/30 contains both Regulare and NPH insulin. Novolin 70/30 has 70% NPH and 30% Regular insulin, combining both the intermediate-acting NPH with the regular or short-acting insulin.

Will I get what I see in the picture?
