28 days after it's opened according to the literature. I think the actual quantity in the vial would last longer, depending on dosage.
(On the first vial of $25 Walmart Novolin N for a diabetic pet)
- bayesianhorse 12y agoJust for clarification: Does Walmart sell an Insulin approved for human use? Animal insulin has been used for human use, and human insulin for use in pets... Insulin's amino acid sequence varies a little by species, but as far as I recall most mammal's insulins are interchangeable.
- kgwgk 12y agoWalmart's store-brand insulin is Lilly's Humulin. It was NovoNordisk's Novolin until 2010.
- spinchange 12y agoNovolin N is human insulin. Walmart pharmacies likely sell more than one brand/type, this was just the one my vet prescribed (although a formal prescription isn't necessary, you just have to ask the pharmacist for it). It was about $25, so I assumed it was the same stuff the parent comment was talking about.
- coldpie 12y agoYou can get by if you're desperate, but the 28 days isn't an underestimate. The dropoff is pretty fast after the four week mark. I don't understand why, but that's been my personal experience.
