Composition

• Insulin Human (rDNA) 100 IU/ml

Mechanism of Action

Insulin Human (rDNA) works by mimicking the natural insulin produced by the pancreas. It facilitates the uptake of glucose into muscle and fat cells and inhibits glucose production in the liver. This results in a reduction of blood glucose levels. Being short-acting, it primarily controls postprandial (after-meal) glucose spikes.

Indications

Insul N Injection is indicated for:

• Type 1 diabetes mellitus
• Type 2 diabetes mellitus when oral antidiabetic drugs are inadequate
• Control of post-meal blood glucose levels
• Diabetic ketoacidosis (as part of hospital management protocols)
• Gestational diabetes requiring insulin therapy
• Hospitalized patients requiring insulin therapy for hyperglycemia

Dosage and Administration

• Administered via subcutaneous injection or as directed by a physician
• In emergency settings, may be given intravenously under medical supervision
• Usually injected 30 minutes before meals (for short-acting insulin)
• Dosage is individualized based on blood glucose monitoring, diet, and clinical response
• Injection sites include abdomen, thigh, or upper arm
• Rotate injection sites regularly

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects include:

• Hypoglycemia (most common)
• Weight gain
• Injection site reactions (redness, swelling, or irritation)
• Lipodystrophy at injection sites

Less common but serious effects:

• Severe hypoglycemia (confusion, seizures, loss of consciousness)
• Allergic reactions
• Hypokalemia (low potassium levels)

Precautions

• Frequent blood glucose monitoring is essential
• Do not skip meals after insulin injection
• Alcohol may increase the risk of hypoglycemia
• Dose adjustments may be needed during illness, stress, or dietary changes
• Use cautiously in patients with kidney or liver impairment

Contraindications

• Hypoglycemia episodes
• Known hypersensitivity to human insulin or any formulation component

Drug Interactions

• Corticosteroids may increase blood glucose levels
• Beta-blockers may mask symptoms of hypoglycemia
• Oral antidiabetic agents may enhance insulin effect
• Thyroid hormones and diuretics may affect glucose control
