? Do you have to roll ProZinc?

[Sue484]

Just a quick question. Do you have to roll ProZinc to mix it before shooting?

 

[yukon25]

I do. The vet and the directions in the bottle both said to do so.

 

[Sue484]

Never thought to look on the bottle!!

 

[yukon25]

LOL! I think it was on the papers inside, the bottle print is too tiny for me to read so the insert had to be where I saw it. But fortunately my vet said to roll it too.

For some reason I'm thinking I read it somewhere else too, maybe in the Protocol?

From product insert:

"ProZinc insulin should be mixed by gently rolling the vial prior to withdrawing each dose from the vial."

ETA

"NOTE: It is important that you roll the vial and not shake it. Shaking the vial may reduce the effect of the insulin by breaking the insulin molecules apart."

Sue! Well done for getting the Prozinc!

Keeping fingers and paws crossed that this insulin works better for Rom.

Yes it does, invert the vial and gently roll it between the hands until it looks cloudy, don't shake as overenthusiastic shaking damages the proteins and renders the insulin ineffective (true for all insulins). Don't roll it over a hard surface either as if it leaps out of your hands it becomes an expensive mess to clear up.
