Vetsulin^® (porcine insulin zinc suspension)

Manage diabetes and enjoy life withyour dog.        

Vetsulin^® (porcine insulin zinc suspension) is an injectable insulin suspension that reduces hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) in dogs with diabetes mellitus.

Vetsulin is an insulin, designed to work specifically for your dog. It is FDA approved, starts working quickly, and is long-lasting. 

How to Give Vetsulin^® Using a U-40 Insulin Syringe:

Important dosage information:

• Doses of insulin are measured in units: 40 IU/mL insulin contains 40 International Units (IU) per milliliter (mL) (1 mL = 1 cc).

Use Vetsulin with U-40 syringes only:

• These syringes are designed specifically for use in animals. Using a syringe other than the size prescribed by your veterinarian (such as a U-100 syringe that is designed for use in people) will result in incorrect dosing. This could be dangerous for your dog.

Your veterinarian will prescribe Vetsulin for your dog.

Follow your veterinarian's instructions to properly give Vetsulin to your dog. Your veterinarian will:

• Determine the amount of insulin and frequency needed
• Advise on proper storage and handling
• Show how to draw the insulin from the vial
• Instruct on how to give the injection

When you feel comfortable, your veterinarian and veterinary nurse will give you everything you need to care foryour dog's diabetes at home.

Important Safety Information:

Vetsulin^® should not be used in dogs known to have a systemic allergy to pork or pork products. Vetsulin is contraindicated during periods of hypoglycemia. Keep out of reach of children. As with all insulin products, careful patient monitoring for hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia is essential to attain and maintain adequate glycemic control and prevent associated complications. Overdosage can result in profound hypoglycemia and death. The safety and effectiveness of Vetsulin in puppies, breeding, pregnant, and lactating dogs has not been evaluated.
