Human Insulin treats type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, a condition with elevated glucose levels.
Actrapid 100IU/ml Flexpen 3ml is classified as an ‘antidiabetic’ medication, serving to treat both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. This condition involves elevated glucose levels in the body. In type 1 diabetes, insufficient insulin is produced, while in type 2 diabetes, either insulin production decreases or the body becomes resistant to its effects.
Containing ‘Human Insulin’, Actrapid 100IU/ml Flexpen 3 ml acts as a replacement for the lacking insulin in diabetic patients. By curbing liver sugar production and enhancing sugar uptake by muscle and fat cells, it ensures prompt and consistent sugar control. This insulin commences its action within 30 minutes post-injection and remains effective for up to 8 hours.
Follow your doctor’s instructions when taking Actrapid 100IU/ml Flexpen 3 ml. You will be guided by a healthcare professional on the proper injection technique. While the medication can lead to side effects like low blood sugar, hand or foot swelling, weight gain, and skin thickening at injection sites, consult your doctor if these effects persist or worsen.
Avoid using Actrapid 100IU/ml Flexpen 3 ml if you have insulin allergies or a history of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Discuss with your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Additionally, inform your doctor about other antidiabetic medications you may be taking. Seek immediate medical attention in case of hypoglycemia.
