Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Flextouch

Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Flextouch is an insulin combination that contains both long-acting and fast-acting forms of insulin. It is prescribed to manage blood sugar levels in adults and children with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. This dual-action formula ensures stable insulin support throughout the day while controlling sudden glucose spikes after meals.

How It Works
This injection contains insulin degludec (a long-acting insulin) and insulin aspart (a rapid-acting insulin). Insulin degludec provides a constant supply of insulin for 24 hours, while insulin aspart starts working quickly after injection to balance post-meal sugar levels. Together, they help the body use glucose effectively and prevent excessive sugar production in the liver.

How to Use
Ryzodeg is administered under the skin as directed by your doctor or nurse. It is generally injected once daily at a fixed time, but if needed, it can be taken at a different time with a minimum gap of 8 hours between doses. It is important to follow your prescribed schedule and dosage carefully for best results.
