Insutage R 100Iu/Ml Cartridge 3 ml

About Insutage R 100IU/ml Cartridge 3 ml

Insutage R 100IU/ml Cartridge 3 ml is a treatment option for managing blood sugar levels in individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps maintain proper glucose levels in both adults and children. In type 1 diabetes, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin, while in type 2 diabetes, the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or becomes resistant to its effects, leading to improper sugar regulation despite increased insulin production.

This cartridge contains human insulin, a fast-acting analogue that helps control blood sugar spikes following meals. It promotes the absorption of glucose into muscle and fat tissues while reducing sugar production by the liver, offering quick and sustained sugar management.

Some users may experience side effects such as skin rash, injection site irritation, weight gain, swelling (edema), localized thickening of the skin at the injection site, low blood sugar, and itching. Most of these effects are temporary and resolve as the body adjusts, but persistent or worsening symptoms should be reported to a healthcare provider.

The medication should be used exactly as prescribed by your doctor and administered through subcutaneous injections in areas like the thigh, abdomen, upper arm, or buttocks. Healthcare professionals will guide you on how to self-administer the injection properly. For those unable to do so, assistance from a medical expert is recommended. A healthy diet, consistent exercise, and weight management, as advised by your doctor, complement the treatment.

Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have any allergies, or suffer from kidney, liver, or heart conditions, or if you consume alcohol or recreational drugs. Do not discontinue this medication without consulting your doctor, as it may lead to withdrawal symptoms. Being a cold chain product, Insutage R 100IU/ml must be stored between 2°C and 8°C, away from freezers or heat sources to ensure its effectiveness.
