HUMAN MONOCOMPONENT REGULAR INSULIN
HUMAN MONOCOMPONENT REGULAR INSULIN: Drug: Human Monocomponent Regular Insulin
Use:
Human Monocomponent Regular Insulin is a medication used to treat diabetes mellitus. It is specifically used for individuals who have Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, or gestational diabetes when blood sugar levels cannot be controlled with oral antidiabetic medications alone.
Mechanism of Action:
Regular insulin is a synthetic form of natural human insulin. It works by replacing the insulin that is normally produced by the pancreas. Insulin is responsible for regulating blood sugar levels by allowing cells to take up glucose from the blood and use it for energy. Regular insulin helps to lower blood sugar levels by facilitating the entry of glucose into cells.
Dose:
The dose of Human Monocomponent Regular Insulin will vary depending on individual factors such as age, weight, and specific insulin requirements. It is usually injected subcutaneously, often into the abdominal wall, thigh, or upper arm. The injection site should be rotated to prevent lipodystrophy (changes in fat distribution).
It is important to follow the prescribed dosing instructions provided by a healthcare professional. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is necessary to adjust the dosage as needed.
Side Effects:
Like any medication, Human Monocomponent Regular Insulin can cause side effects. Common side effects may include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), which can manifest as symptoms such as sweating, trembling, dizziness, confusion, headache, or blurred vision.
Other potential side effects may include injection site reactions (such as pain, redness, or swelling), allergic reactions (rash, itching, or difficulty breathing), and weight gain.
If any side effects or allergic reactions occur, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
Note: This is a general description of Human Monocomponent Regular Insulin. The actual drug may have specific variations, and it is important to consult a healthcare professional for personalized information and guidance.
