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 Basugine Pen 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 Basugine Pen

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.

Expert advice for Basugine Pen

Keep an unopened supply in the fridge and the pen in use at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Always carry a fast-acting sugar source. Check your sugar as your doctor has instructed, and keep a record to take to appointments.
