Insulin is contraindicated in hypoglycaemia.

Injections should be made immediately upon withdrawal from the vial.

Insuvet Lente and Insuvet Protamine Zinc must be given only by subcutaneous injection. The requirement for insulin will vary with changes in diet and exercise, during illness, stress, pregnancy, liver or kidney diseases and when other medication with hypo or hyperglycaemic activity is given.

Insulin antagonism may develop. Recognised causes in the dog include exogenous glucocorticoid administration, hyperadrenocorticism, oestrus, pregnancy and chronic infection.

Overdosage causes hypoglycaemia which must be treated immediately with intravenous dextrose. If the animal is at home and convulsing, sugared water or syrup should be carefully introduced into the animal's mouth until the convulsions stop and veterinary attention can be provided.

Avoid contact with skin. Care should be taken to avoid accidental self-injection. In the event of accidental self injection, medical advice MUST be sought immediately, showing the Doctor this label and any other product literature. Persons who are hypersensitive (allergic) to insulin or other ingredients in the product should wear rubber gloves when handling this product.

For animal treatment only.

Keep out of the reach of children.
