Notes  

A mixed insulin, containing 30% R neutral and 70% NPH isophane  crystal insulin[2]. All ReliOn insulins are made by Novo Nordisk and are identical to those in their Novolin line[3].

The difference between Novolin 70/30, Actraphane 30/70, Mixtard 30[4][5][6][7] is only the ReliOn name added to the label and the less expensive price; they all come from Novo.

Other comparable insulins made by others are: Humulin 70/30[8] and Humulin M3[9][10][11].
