Apidra 100IU Cartridge 1*3ml

Product Overview

Apidra 100IU Cartridge (3ml Each) is a fast-acting insulin used to help manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It works quickly after injection to lower glucose levels following meals and supports overall blood sugar control, helping to prevent diabetes-related complications.

This insulin is often prescribed alongside long-acting insulin or other medications for diabetes. Your healthcare provider will instruct you on the correct method for injecting it under the skin. It is typically administered within 15 minutes before eating or up to 20 minutes after a meal starts. It is essential to continue using this medicine as directed, even if you feel well, and to follow the recommended diet, exercise, and weight management plan provided by your doctor.

Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is important. Keeping track of your readings and sharing them with your healthcare provider helps ensure that you receive the correct dose.

The most frequently reported side effects include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), allergic reactions, irritation at the injection site, thickened or pitted skin at the injection area, rash, itching, and upper respiratory tract infections. These effects may lessen over time, but it’s important to stick to your prescribed dose, eat consistent meals, and regularly monitor your glucose levels.

Avoid using this medicine when your blood sugar is already low. Inform your doctor if you have kidney, liver, or heart issues before starting treatment. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult their healthcare provider before using this medication.
