Notes  


Humulin 50/50 is the US brand name for Lilly's r-DNA/GE/GM human insulin mix consisting of 50% R/neutral insulin and 50% NPH/isophane crystal[2] insulin[3].

It is the same as Mixtard 50[4][5], Actraphane 50/50[6][7] and Aventis' Insuman Comb 50[8][9].

Lilly stopped offering this insulin, under the brand name Humulin M5[10], in the EU & UK in July 2004[11][12].
