Composition of Tresiba Penfill
Tresiba Penfill contains Insulin degludec 100 IU/mL solution for injection (3 mL cartridge). It belongs to the Long-acting (ultra-long) insulin analogue (basal insulin) class of medicines.
Uses of Tresiba Penfill
- Diabetes mellitus to improve glycaemic control in adults
- Adolescents
- Children (typically type 1
- Type 2 diabetes) as a long-acting basal insulin
Benefits of Tresiba Penfill
- In Type 1 diabetes
- Tresiba Penfill 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
- Tresiba Penfill 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 Tresiba Penfill works
Insulin degludec is an ultra‑long acting basal insulin analogue. After subcutaneous injection it forms multi-hexamers that slowly release insulin, providing a stable, prolonged glucose-lowering effect for more than 24 hours.
How to take Tresiba Penfill
For subcutaneous use only in a compatible insulin pen using Penfill cartridges. Inject once daily at the same time each day or, if needed, with flexible timing as advised by the doctor. Can be taken with or without food; rotate injection sites (abdomen, thigh, upper arm). Do not mix with other insulins in the same syringe/cartridge; not for IV use.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
Contact your doctor or diabetes nurse for advice — do not take a double dose to make up for a missed injection.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can cause severe low blood sugar, leading to fits or unconsciousness — this is a medical emergency. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Side effects of Tresiba Penfill
Most side effects of Tresiba Penfill are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Hypoglycaemia
- injection site reactions (pain/redness/swelling)
- weight gain
- oedema
- lipodystrophy (lipoatrophy/lipohypertrophy)
- rash
- pruritus
Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
