Insugen 50/50 Suspension for Injection 100IU/ 10ml

Product Introduction
Insugen 50/50 Suspension for Injection 100IU/ml is a combination of intermediate-acting and short-acting insulin used for the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults and children. It helps control blood sugar levels throughout the day.

It is usually prescribed along with other diabetes medicines. A healthcare professional will teach you the proper method of subcutaneous injection. A meal containing carbohydrates should be taken within 30 minutes of injection. Do not stop using this medicine without your doctor’s advice.

This insulin is part of a complete diabetes management plan that includes a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management. Monitor your blood glucose levels regularly and share results with your doctor to adjust dosage as needed.

Side Effects
The most common side effect is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). To avoid this, take the correct dose, have regular meals, and monitor glucose levels. Excessive alcohol intake may increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Other side effects may include injection site reactions (redness or swelling), weight gain, rash, itching, or swelling (edema).

Do not use if you have low blood sugar. Inform your doctor if you have kidney, liver, or heart problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor for dose adjustment.

Benefits
Insugen 50/50 provides both rapid and long-lasting glucose control by combining short-acting and intermediate-acting insulin. It helps maintain blood sugar levels throughout the day and reduces the risk of long-term diabetes complications such as nerve damage, kidney problems, and eye issues. Regular use along with lifestyle changes helps maintain a healthy and active life.

How to Use
This medicine must be given by a doctor or nurse. Do not self-administer unless trained by a healthcare professional.

How It Works
Insulin isophane provides prolonged action, while human insulin acts rapidly after injection. Together, they promote glucose uptake in muscle and fat cells and reduce glucose production in the liver, helping maintain steady blood sugar levels.
