Miscellaneous information about insulin |
|
Definition
NPH insulin (or neutral protamine Hagedorn) (also known as Humulin N, Novolin N, Novolin NPH, NPH Lletin II, and isophane insulin), is an intermediate-acting insulin given to help control the blood sugar level of those with diabetes. NPH was created in 1936 when Nordisk formulated "isophane" porcine insulin by adding neutral protamine to regular insulin.
This is a suspension of crystalline zinc insulin combined with the positively charged polypeptide, protamine. When injected subcutaneously, it has an intermediate duration of action, meaning longer than that of regular insulin, and shorter than ultralente, glargine or detemir. |

|
Definition
Heat Exhaustion and Lithium
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heat exhaustion is a milder form of heat-related illness to heat stroke, caused by excessive water and salt loss.
Along with the other side effects mentioned above, lithium can cause dehydration, a symptom of heat exhaustion. Lithium in itself does not cause heat exhaustion but exacerbates the symptoms of it. |
