What should Caninsulin look like?
Caninsulin is a mixture of two different types of insulin. Normally, after gentle mixing (invert (upend) the bottle several times), Caninsulin will appear uniformly clear to slightly cloudy and should not have lumps or flakes floating in it. If you see clumps or flakes floating in the vial after you have re-suspended the product, do not use it. A small white ring of sediment may be seen in the neck of some vials of Caninsulin. The ring of sediment forms when the product has not been kept stored continuously in an upright position. A small ring of dried out insulin does not affect the quality of the product. Caninsulin should be stored refrigerated and in an upright position. Always check on the appearance of the Caninsulin before using it!
