Human Actrapid 40IU/ml Solution for Injection

Product Introduction

Human Actrapid 40IU/ml Solution for Injection is a fast-acting insulin designed to manage blood sugar levels in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. When combined with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and other prescribed diabetes medications, it helps prevent serious complications such as kidney damage, vision impairment, and nerve-related issues.

This insulin is usually administered under medical supervision and may be combined with a long-acting insulin for optimal blood sugar control. Human Actrapid works quickly and is generally injected 20–30 minutes before meals to regulate post-meal glucose levels effectively.

Uses

• Management of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

• Management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Benefits

Effective Blood Sugar Control: Human Actrapid mimics natural insulin to regulate glucose absorption into muscle and fat cells, reducing high blood sugar after meals.

Prevention of Diabetes Complications: Consistent use helps lower the risk of kidney, eye, and nerve damage, as well as complications related to cardiovascular health.

Rapid Onset of Action: Begins lowering blood sugar within 30 minutes, making it ideal for controlling post-meal glucose spikes.

Supports Overall Diabetes Management: Works in conjunction with long-acting insulin, dietary management, and exercise routines to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

How It Works

Human Actrapid 40IU/ml is a short-acting insulin that functions like the body’s natural insulin. It promotes glucose uptake by muscle and fat cells and suppresses glucose production in the liver. By controlling blood sugar effectively, it helps prevent both hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and its long-term complications.

Administration

• Administered subcutaneously under the guidance of a doctor or nurse.

• Inject 20–30 minutes before meals.

• Follow your prescribed dosage and schedule strictly.

• Monitor blood sugar levels regularly to ensure optimal dosing.

• Injection site reactions (redness, swelling, pain)

Tip: Eat regularly and monitor blood sugar to prevent hypoglycemia. Avoid excessive alcohol as it may lower blood sugar levels.
