Insulgen 100 IU/ml Soluble Human Insulin Injection - 1 Vial (10ml)
Severe hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) requires immediate, rapid-acting glycemic correction to prevent diabetic coma or organ failure. Insulgen 100 IU/ml is a short-acting, soluble recombinant human insulin. It is formulated as a sterile clinical injectable solution for acute-hospital administrations[cite: 1]. Upon injection, it enters the bloodstream rapidly to facilitate cellular glucose uptake, immediately lowering dangerous blood sugar spikes and stabilizing critical diabetic patients.
How to Use / Operate
Administer strictly under professional supervision according to clinical diagnostic parameters[cite: 1]. It is typically injected subcutaneously into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm 15-30 minutes before a meal. In emergency hospital settings, it may be administered intravenously (IV) by a physician.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Insulgen 100 IU/ml used for?
It is a fast-acting insulin used to quickly lower high blood sugar in patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, particularly around meal times or during hospital emergencies.
Does it need to be refrigerated?
Yes, unopened vials must be stored in a refrigerator (2°C to 8°C). Do not freeze. Once in use, the vial can be kept at room temperature for up to 28 days.
Important Clinical Considerations
It is indicated for direct medical-provider utilization during targeted healthcare treatment protocols[cite: 1]. Insulin carries a high risk of inducing severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar); patients must regularly monitor their blood glucose levels and ensure they eat a meal shortly after injection. Rotate injection sites daily to prevent lipodystrophy (fat lumps under the skin).
