Mechanism of action

Lispro Mixture combines two formulations of insulin lispro: the rapid-acting component addresses postprandial (after-meal) glucose spikes, while the protamine-complexed intermediate-acting component provides basal insulin coverage between meals and overnight. This dual-action approach approximates the body's natural biphasic insulin response to maintain glycemic control throughout the day.
