Warnings and precautions

Hypoglycaemia is the most common and serious risk—carry glucose/sugar and educate on symptoms.

Do not share pens/needles. Avoid use if allergic to insulin or excipients. Driving/operating machinery may be impaired by hypo/hyperglycaemia.

Interactions with other medicines

Other antidiabetics (may increase hypoglycaemia risk), beta-blockers (mask hypoglycaemia symptoms), ACE inhibitors (may increase insulin sensitivity), corticosteroids (raise glucose), thiazide diuretics (raise glucose), thyroid hormones (raise glucose), sympathomimetics (raise glucose), MAO inhibitors (increase hypoglycaemia risk), alcohol (can cause hypo/hyperglycaemia), atypical antipsychotics (raise glucose)
