What is iletin ii regular (pork)?

Drug Name: INSULIN REGULAR(PORK)-INJ
Uses: This insulin is obtained from pigs. Pork insulin is similar to human insulin and is used to treat diabetes mellitus. Like other insulin products, it works by helping sugar (glucose) get into cells. It is a short-acting insulin. This insulin is usually used in combination with a medium- or long-acting insulin product injected under the skin to control high blood sugar. In some people with diabetes, insulin may be used alone or with oral diabetes drugs (e.g., sulfonylureas like glyburide or glipizide). Even with diabetes, you can lead an active and healthy life if you eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and take your insulin as directed. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
