Insugen-R 10 ml

Insugen-R 10 ml contains Human insulin (rDNA origin) Injection IP 100 IU/mL (Regular insulin). Prescription required.

Treatment of diabetes mellitus to control high blood sugar in type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes when insulin is required; management of hyperglycaemia in diabetic emergencies as advised by doctor

Regular human insulin replaces or supplements the body’s natural insulin. It helps glucose enter muscle and fat cells and reduces glucose production by the liver, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.

Inject subcutaneously as prescribed, usually 30 minutes before meals; may also be given intravenously/intramuscularly only under medical supervision. Use an insulin syringe/pen as instructed, rotate injection sites, do not share needles, and monitor blood glucose regularly.

Hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar), sweating, tremor, dizziness, headache, hunger, palpitations, injection site pain/redness/swelling, weight gain, lipodystrophy, allergic reactions (rash/itching)

Risk of hypoglycaemia—carry glucose/sugar and know symptoms; dose adjustments may be needed with changes in diet, exercise, illness, kidney/liver disease. Do not use during hypoglycaemia. Use caution when switching insulin brands/strengths. Monitor for injection-site lumps (lipodystrophy) and rotate sites. Severe allergy is rare but needs urgent care.

Other antidiabetic medicines, ACE inhibitors, salicylates, sulfonamide antibiotics, MAO inhibitors (may increase hypoglycaemia); corticosteroids, thiazide diuretics, thyroid hormones, sympathomimetics, oral contraceptives, protease inhibitors (may increase blood sugar/insulin need); beta-blockers and clonidine may mask hypoglycaemia symptoms; alcohol increases hypoglycaemia risk

Store refrigerated at 2–8°C. Do not freeze. Keep away from direct heat and light. Once in use, follow label instructions; generally keep at controlled room temperature as advised and discard if solution becomes cloudy/particles appear.
