This group comprises both human - <strong>and</strong> animal insulins.<br />

Insulin preparations are classified at 4 different 4th levels, according to<br />

levels according to origin of insulin.<br />

Products consisting of, e.g. beef <strong>and</strong> pork insulin, are classified as<br />

combinations (30-levels) at each 4th level according to onset <strong>and</strong><br />

duration of action.<br />

The <strong>DDD</strong> <strong>for</strong> insulins is 40 units.<br />
