HUMAN ACTRAPID 40 IU
₹178.29
Human Actrapid 40 IU/ml Solution for Injection is a prescription short-acting insulin that contains human insulin (40IU/ml) as its active ingredient. It is used to manage and control high blood sugar levels in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Uses and Benefits
- Treatment of Type 1 & 2 Diabetes: Replaces the insulin the body doesn’t produce enough of, facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells for energy and suppressing sugar production in the liver.
- Blood Sugar Control: Helps control blood sugar levels, especially after meals, reducing the risk of long-term complications like kidney damage, eye damage, and nerve problems.
How to Use and Precautions
- Administration: It is administered via subcutaneous injection (under the skin) into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, typically 20-30 minutes before a meal.
- Injection Site Rotation: To prevent skin changes (lipodystrophy) and ensure consistent absorption, rotate injection sites within the same region with each dose.
- Do Not Stop Abruptly: Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor, as it can lead to severe high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia).
- Hypoglycemia Risk: Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) is a common side effect. Always carry a fast-acting sugar source (like glucose tablets or fruit juice) to manage symptoms (e.g., sweating, rapid heartbeat, shakiness, hunger).
- Storage: Unopened vials must be stored in the refrigerator (2°C–8°C). Opened vials can be kept at room temperature (below 30°C) for up to 4 weeks.
- Alcohol: Use alcohol with caution, as it can significantly lower blood sugar levels.
- Driving: Avoid driving if you experience dizziness or blurred vision, which can be symptoms of low blood sugar.
