What is an NPH?


- NPH is an intermediate-acting insulin with an onset of action in 3 to 4 hours, a peak action in 6 to 12 hours, and a duration of action of 18 to 28 hours.

NPH stands for Neutral Protamine Hagedorn and also known for the "N" bottle.

*A hypoglycemic reaction is most likely to occur at peak time.
