Actrapid HM Vial contains Human Insulin and falls under the category of medications known as Antidiabetic agents. It is prescribed to manage both type I and type II diabetes mellitus.
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition characterized by elevated levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. This occurs due to either insufficient production of insulin (a hormone produced by the pancreas to regulate glucose metabolism) in the body or due to reduced sensitivity of body cells to the effects of insulin.
Before initiating treatment with Actrapid HM Vial, it's important to consult your doctor, especially if you have a history of liver, kidney, or heart issues. Inform your doctor if you've experienced a stroke, had recent infections, engage in strenuous exercise, or plan to travel abroad (as mealtime and injection timings may need adjustments).
Avoid using this medication if you have hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels). If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using Actrapid HM Vial. While undergoing treatment, meticulously adhere to your doctor's guidance regarding meal timing and exercise routines.
When self-administering the medication, strictly follow your doctor's instructions. Do not alter or mix your insulin regimen unless specifically advised by your doctor.
Avoid alcohol consumption as it can worsen side effects and increase the risk of low blood sugar levels.
Use Actrapid HM Vial (Solution for Injection) during pregnancy only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Consult your doctor before starting if pregnant or planning to conceive.

Important Notes:
HUMAN INSULIN contains a short-acting form of insulin known as Human Insulin. This medication is effective in reducing elevated blood sugar levels in adults and children. It operates by promoting the uptake of glucose into muscle and fat cells, concurrently inhibiting the liver's production of glucose. As a result, HUMAN INSULIN aids in achieving better control over blood sugar levels, which subsequently reduces the likelihood of developing diabetes-related complications such as retinopathy (retinal damage), nephropathy (kidney damage), neuropathy (nerve damage), delayed wound healing, diabetic foot ulcers, and other associated health issues.
Insulin is a hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating blood glucose levels. It affects the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in the body. Its mechanism of action involves several processes:
Insulin formulations are categorized based on their durations of action after subcutaneous (SC) injection. There are three main types:
While all insulin formulations can be administered through subcutaneous injections, most can also be given via intramuscular (IM) injections. However, only soluble insulin can be administered intravenously (IV). Compared to subcutaneous injections, intramuscular administration generally has a faster onset of action but a shorter duration of effect.
It's important to note that the choice of insulin formulation and administration method depends on individual factors such as the patient's diabetes type, lifestyle, and blood glucose control goals. The healthcare provider will determine the most appropriate insulin regimen for each patient's needs.
