Description

Let’s talk about Actrapid HM Vial:
What is Actrapid? Actrapid is a short-acting insulin used to treat both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps control blood sugar levels after meals, preventing serious complications like kidney damage and blindness. The active substance in Actrapid is human insulin¹².
How does it work? Actrapid promotes the uptake of glucose into muscle and fat cells while inhibiting the liver’s production of glucose. This helps reduce elevated blood sugar levels in adults and children with diabetes³.
Administration:
Actrapid is available as vials, cartridges (Penfill), or prefilled pens (NovoLet, InnoLet, or FlexPen).
Always check the label to ensure you’re using the right type of insulin.
Use a new needle for each injection to prevent contamination.
Remember, needles and syringes must not be shared.
Precautions:
If you’re ill, continue taking your insulin and consult your doctor.
Traveling across time zones may affect your insulin needs and timing.
Be aware of skin changes at the injection site (thickening, shrinking, or lumps). Inject in different areas if needed.
Remember, Actrapid is prescribed by a doctor, so always follow their guidance.
