Recommended Dosage:

Use of a syringe other than a U-40 syringe will result in incorrect dosing. Follow the dosing instructions exactly as given by your veterinarian. Shake the vial thoroughly to a milky, uniform suspension. Make sure all clumps or particles are completely dissolved, and foam formed during shaking has dispersed, before using. Vetsulin should be given with or right after a meal.

How to Administer

Doses of insulin are measured in units: 40 IU/mL insulin contains 40 International Units (IU) per milliliter (mL) (1 mL = 1 cc).

Use Vetsulin with U-40 insulin syringes only to avoid dosing errors when administering Vetsulin to dogs. Human insulin is formulated at a concentration of 100 IU/mL. Using a U-100 insulin syringe, would result in a dog receiving two and a half times less insulin than required, resulting in inadequate dosing and likely recurrence of signs.

Preparing the Dose

After washing your hands, take the Vetsulin (porcine insulin zinc suspension) vial out of the refrigerator. Shake the vial until the insulin is uniformly milky, allowing any foam to disperse.

1. Carefully remove the cap from the needle and insert the needle into the vial.
2. Turn the vial upside down, making sure the tip of the needle remains in the vial.
3. Withdraw the correct dose into the U-40 insulin syringe.
4. Before removing the needle from the vial, check the syringe for any air bubbles.
5. If bubbles are present, hold the syringe up and tap its side until the bubbles float to the top. Push them out with the plunger and withdraw the correct dose.
6. Remove the needle from the vial.

Giving the Injection

1. Injection should be given under the skin, 3/4 to 2 inches from the middle of your pet’s back, varying from behind the shoulder blades to the middle of the back region and alternating sides.
2. Gently insert needle in center of folded skin.
3. Push plunger until all of the insulin is given.
4. Pull needle out and dispose of syringe into appropriate sharps collector.

Injection Tips

• Injection site can depend upon what is best for your pet, check with your vet.
• Alternate injection site between left and right side for comfort and best results. Repeat injections at the same site can lead to ineffective treatment.
  
• If only a partial dose is given, do not attempt to re-dose. Wait and give the pet it’s usual dose at the next injection time.
