Wosulin 50/50 100IU Inj Car

Injection

Diabetes mellitus (Type 1 and Type 2) requiring insulin therapy for control of blood glucose; used when a premixed insulin regimen is advised

Biphasic insulin 50/50 contains short-acting soluble insulin for meal-time glucose control and intermediate-acting NPH insulin for basal control. It increases peripheral glucose uptake and reduces hepatic glucose production, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.

For subcutaneous use only using the insulin cartridge in a compatible pen device as advised by the doctor. Usually taken 1–2 times daily, typically 30 minutes before meals. Roll/tilt gently to resuspend before use; rotate injection sites (abdomen, thigh, upper arm). Do not use if solution has clumps or does not become uniformly cloudy after mixing.

Hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar), injection site reactions (pain/redness/swelling), weight gain, lipodystrophy at injection site, allergic reactions (rash/itching), oedema

Risk of hypoglycaemia—monitor blood glucose regularly and carry fast-acting glucose. Dose adjustments may be needed with changes in diet, exercise, illness, stress, kidney or liver impairment. Do not share pens/cartridges/needles. Use caution while driving/operating machinery if prone to hypoglycaemia. Seek urgent help for severe allergy (breathing difficulty, swelling) or repeated severe lows. Not for IV use; do not mix with other insulins unless advised.

Other antidiabetics (sulfonylureas, metformin) may increase hypoglycaemia risk; beta-blockers may mask hypoglycaemia symptoms; corticosteroids, thiazide diuretics, thyroid hormones, sympathomimetics may increase blood glucose; ACE inhibitors and alcohol may increase hypoglycaemia; MAO inhibitors may enhance insulin effect.

Store unopened cartridges refrigerated at 2–8°C; do not freeze. Protect from light. In-use cartridge/pen may be kept at room temperature (generally below 25–30°C) for the period recommended on the pack; keep away from heat and sunlight. Discard if frozen or exposed to excessive heat.
