Overview
NovoMix 30 FlexPen 100U/ml Pre-filled Pen is a prescription-only medicine (POM) presented as a medicine, with Biphasic insulin aspart (30% soluble / 70% protaminated) 100U/ml as its active ingredient content.
This page is limited to product, safety and handling information, in line with Malaysian rules on prescription medicine information for the public. Your prescriber or pharmacist is the right source for anything beyond that, together with the leaflet inside the pack.
Through DoctorOnCall, this product is supplied after an online consultation with a licensed doctor and a valid prescription, and it is checked by a registered pharmacist before dispensing. Take it exactly as prescribed, and speak to your doctor before stopping, changing the dose, or starting any other medicine alongside it.
Directions for Use
Before injecting NovoMix 30 FlexPen 100U/ml Pre-filled Pen, gently roll and tip the pen several times to resuspend the insulin evenly, as it is a suspension that separates on standing – do not shake vigorously. Inject subcutaneously shortly before a meal, rotating the injection site each time, and ensure you eat shortly afterwards to match the rapid-acting component.
Dosage
The dose of NovoMix 30 FlexPen 100U/ml Pre-filled Pen is individualised by your doctor based on your blood glucose readings, meal pattern, and overall diabetes treatment plan, and is usually injected once or twice daily (commonly before breakfast and dinner). Never change your dose without your doctor’s specific instruction.
Storage Instructions
Before first use, store in a refrigerator (2-8°C); do not freeze, and do not use if it has been frozen. Once a pen/cartridge is in use (or carried as a spare), it may be kept at room temperature (below 30°C), away from direct heat and light, for up to 4 weeks; discard it after that period even if some insulin remains, and never share a pen between patients.

Malaysian rules for prescription medicines limit public product pages to product, safety and handling information. Your doctor decides whether this medicine is appropriate for you and will explain it during your consultation, and your pharmacist can answer further questions when the medicine is dispensed.
Follow your doctor’s instructions and the directions on the dispensing label without changing them. If anything on the label is unclear, check with your pharmacist before taking the first dose, and read the Directions for Use section on this page.

Before first use, store in a refrigerator (2-8°C); do not freeze, and do not use if it has been frozen. Once a pen/cartridge is in use (or carried as a spare), it may be kept at room temperature (below 30°C), away from direct heat and light, for up to 4 weeks; discard it after that period even if some insulin remains, and never share a pen between patients. Keep it in the original pack until use, and do not use it after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

Customers in Malaysia can complete an online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor, who decides whether a prescription is appropriate, or upload a valid prescription already issued by their own doctor.
Orders going to Singapore are dispatched from Malaysia as an international delivery, so you need to hold a valid prescription or doctor’s letter for the medicine. Check the consultation and prescription upload options shown at checkout for your delivery address before placing the order.
Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.
