What is a days supply of Humulin N insulin 20ml if the dose is 40 U daily?

Answer 1

To calculate the days' supply of Humulin N insulin, you need to determine the total number of units in the 20 mL vial. Humulin N typically has a concentration of 100 units/mL, so a 20 mL vial contains 2,000 units (20 mL x 100 units/mL). If the daily dose is 40 units, the days' supply would be 2,000 units divided by 40 units/day, which equals 50 days. Therefore, the 20 mL vial would last for 50 days at a dose of 40 units daily.
