Safety advice for Xsulin R Cartridges

Warnings and precautions

Risk of severe hypoglycaemia—monitor blood glucose regularly and carry fast-acting sugar. Use caution when changing insulin dose/brand, meal patterns, or activity. Dose adjustment may be needed in kidney/liver impairment, illness, stress, or with other antidiabetics. Do not use during episodes of hypoglycaemia. Seek urgent care for severe allergy or recurrent unexplained hypoglycaemia.

Interactions with other medicines

Other antidiabetics (sulfonylureas, GLP-1 agents) increase hypoglycaemia risk; beta-blockers may mask hypoglycaemia symptoms; corticosteroids, thiazide/loop diuretics, thyroid hormones, sympathomimetics can raise glucose and reduce insulin effect; ACE inhibitors can increase insulin sensitivity; alcohol increases hypoglycaemia risk
