How it works:
UltiCare U-100 syringes are an ideal syringe for use with Humulin N insulin. When used according to your veterinarian's instructions, these syringes play a key role in helping to manage your pet's blood glucose levels.
To draw the insulin into the syringe, inject the insulin bottle with the syringe and pull back on the syringe plunger until the proper dose is inside the syringe barrel.
•
U-100 syringes contain a silicone coated needle to help ensure ideal comfort.
•
Do not sterilize or reuse syringe.
Tip: Keep the vial upside down, with the syringe needle pointing upwards to release the insulin back into the bottle if any air enters the syringe.

OK, but not as good as Nipro
The aren't as smooth, and you have to remember to fully depress the plunger before drawing insulin into the syringe. Otherwise you end up with additional air in the syringe that is difficult to remove.
When I purchased these syringes, the Nipro were pictured, but I received the UltiCare and now it is the pictured product. "PetMeds" branded. But I wouldn't put my brand name on them...

Regardless of which U-100 syringe you are using, whether 3/10 ml, 1/2 ml or 1 ml, 8 units of U-100 insulin such as Humulin-N would be filling the syringe to the small mark just before the larger 10 Unit marking.
There are only a few states that require a prescription to purchase syringes. You do need a prescription for all Rx required medications, but you do not need a prescription for over-the-counter products.
You're giving a very small amount of Humulin N. I would recommend you use the U-100 3/10 (0.3) cc syringe. There are 30 marks on the syringe barrel. Each mark is 1 I.U. You need to draw up Humulin-N to just below the 1st mark above the needle. Please let me know if you are still not clear.
