A member asked:

Insulin novolog mix 70/30 has a medicine smell that i've never smelled could it be bad.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't use: If medicine smells bad or unusually strong then it may be contaminated. Check the expiration date and see if there is a number on the pen or vial were you can report this.
