AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
HUMULIN R is a rapid-acting human insulin injection approved by the FDA in 1982 for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. It works by regulating glucose metabolism through stimulation of peripheral glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and fat tissue, while simultaneously inhibiting hepatic glucose production. The drug also suppresses lipolysis and proteolysis while enhancing protein synthesis. As a short-acting insulin, HUMULIN R is a foundational diabetes therapy typically used for prandial (mealtime) glycemic control, often in combination with longer-acting basal insulins.
