Brief answer....there is no interaction between harmoni f with injectable insulin
Detailed answer...
I have read your query and understand your concern.
HARMONI F is used for oral contraception and available data doesn't suggest any interaction between harmoni f and injectable insulin.
You can go ahead with this medication along with your injectable insulin.
I hope it helps,however You are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
