Notes  


Humulin M5 was the EU/UK 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].

Lilly stopped offering this insulin in the EU & UK in July 2004[4][5].

It is the same as Mixtard 50[6][7], Actraphane 50/50[8][9] and Aventis' Insuman Comb 50[10][11].
