Actrapid Vial 100IU/ml facilitates the utilization of glucose present in the bloodstream. By aiding the transportation of glucose from the blood to muscles and fat tissues, it curbs the liver's glucose production. Consequently, this medication effectively manages blood sugar levels and enhances glycemic control in individuals with diabetes mellitus.
Consult your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following side effects:
Insulin effectively reduces blood glucose levels by regulating carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism. It achieves this by inhibiting liver glucose production and lipolysis while enhancing glucose uptake in peripheral tissues. Insulin formulations vary in their duration of action after subcutaneous injection. They are categorized as short-, intermediate-, or long-acting insulin. Soluble insulin, also called 'neutral insulin' or 'regular insulin,' is a short-acting variant. To extend insulin's effects, some formulations are mixed with proteins to delay the release. Examples include protamine zinc insulin (with excess protamine) and isophane insulin (or NPH insulin, containing equal protamine and insulin). Another method modifies particle size, like insulin zinc suspensions. While all can be injected subcutaneously, most can be given intramuscularly, and only soluble insulin can be administered intravenously. Intramuscular administration often leads to faster onset but shorter duration compared to subcutaneous injection.

Child Dose
Renal Dose
Insulin Human is administered 5-10 minutes before meals subcutaneously (SC) in the abdomen or thigh. It can also be given intravenously (IV) with a 0.9% sodium chloride infusion. Subcutaneous injection in the abdomen ensures faster absorption. Insulin Human is usually administered once or twice daily for both rapid and prolonged effects. The initial dose requirement is generally between 0.3 and 1.0 IU/kg per day. Injection should be followed by a meal or snack containing carbohydrates within 30 minutes. If not trained for self-administration, seek assistance from a healthcare professional. Proper hand hygiene, vial preparation, and site selection are crucial for self-injection. After injecting, the needle should be kept under the skin for at least 6 seconds.

If you are taking any of these medications, it's important to discuss with your doctor about potential interactions with Insulin Human.
Food Interactions: Insulin Human may interact with ayurvedic, homeopathy, Unani, herbal supplements, or over-the-counter items. Inform your doctor if you are using any of these products. Avoid consuming alcoholic beverages along with Insulin Human, as alcohol can impact your blood sugar levels.
Disease Interactions: Insulin Human should be avoided in patients with conditions such as kidney disease, liver disease, low blood sugar/glucose levels (hypoglycemia), and low potassium levels (hypokalemia). Always consult your doctor before using Insulin Human if you have any of these conditions.
Hypoglycemia: Insulin Human should not be used if you have a history of low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia), as it can worsen this condition.
Hypersensitivity: Do not use Insulin Human if you are hypersensitive to any of its components or if you have experienced an allergic reaction to it in the past.
Before using this medication, consult your doctor if you are pregnant, suspect you might be pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant. It is generally considered safe to use this insulin during pregnancy. However, it's important to note that your insulin dose may require adjustments during pregnancy and after delivery. Maintaining good control of your diabetes is crucial to prevent episodes of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and ensure the health of your baby. Additionally, there are no restrictions on breastfeeding while using this insulin. Always follow your doctor's guidance for the safe and effective use of this medication.
Store Insulin Human in a temperature range of 2°C to 8°C, within the refrigerator. Avoid freezing the medication, and ensure it remains out of the reach of children. Keep the carton of vials unopened to shield it from light exposure.
