Uses of Apidra Cartridge
Diabetes
Benefits of Apidra Cartridge
- In Type 1 diabetes
- Apidra Cartridge replaces the insulin a type 1 pancreas no longer makes. It is what allows the body to use food for energy, and keeping sugar in range with it prevents both the immediate danger of very high sugar and the long-term damage to eyes, kidneys and nerves.
- In Type 2 diabetes
- Apidra Cartridge brings blood sugar down when tablets alone no longer keep it in range, protecting the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart from the damage of long-standing high sugar.
How Apidra Cartridge works
Apidra 100IU Cartridge (3ml Each) is fast-acting insulin which starts working within 10-20 minutes after injecting. It works similar to the insulin produced by the body. Insulin facilitates reuptake of glucose in muscle and fat cells and also blocks the release of glucose from the liver.
How to take Apidra Cartridge
Your doctor or nurse will guide you how to use this medicine.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

If you take too much

Warnings and precautions
If you feel shaky, sweaty, confused or unusually hungry, take sugar, glucose or a sweet drink at once and tell your doctor — these are signs your blood sugar has fallen too low. Never change your insulin brand, strength or type on your own — always through your doctor. Rotate the injection site each time, or fatty lumps will form and the insulin will be absorbed unpredictably. Do not use insulin that has changed colour, gone cloudy when it should be clear, or has clumps in it. Never share a pen or needle, even with a family member.
Do not take Apidra Cartridge if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not to be used during an episode of low blood sugar.
Interactions with other medicines
Beta blockers can mask the warning signs of low blood sugar. Steroids raise blood sugar and your insulin dose may need review.
How to store Apidra Cartridge
Keep unopened insulin in the refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C — never in the freezer, and never against the ice box. The pen or vial in use may be kept below 30°C, away from direct sunlight, for the period stated on the pack. Keep out of the reach of children.
