All insulins have and need preservatives so that the insulin--whether in vials, pens, or cartridges--has some "shelf life" after the container is opened/started. Preservatives keep bacteria from growing in the containers of insulin once they've had their first use. Though most of the food we eat has some kind or preservatives in it to keep it fresher longer, no one expects that a loaf of bread, will keep indefinitely in the refrigerator without becoming moldy.

  • All insulins have and need preservatives so that the insulin--whether in vials, pens, or cartridges--has some "shelf life" after the container is opened/started. Preservatives keep bacteria from growing in the containers of insulin once they've had their first use. Though most of the food we eat has some kind or preservatives in it to keep it fresher longer, no one expects that a loaf of bread, will keep indefinitely in the refrigerator without becoming moldy. The same is true for insulin; it also has preservatives in it to allow us to keep it for a given time period. Just as the bread's preservatives won't keep the bread fresh forever, neither will the insulin's preservatives. This is one of the reasons manufacturers provide information regarding how long opened insulins should be kept. Use of the wrong preservative with the various types of insulin can make it totally worthless; this is why when using manufactured diluents, care must be taken to match the proper diluent with the insulin.
