About The Drug

Ryzodeg Flextouch is a combination insulin used to help control blood sugar in people with diabetes. It contains two types of insulin that work together: one starts lowering blood sugar soon after injection, and the other works for a longer time to provide steady control throughout the day. This makes it useful for helping you manage blood sugar meals and between meals with fewer injections than some other insulin regimens. It is used along with a proper diet, exercise, and regular blood sugar monitoring.

Indications

When do you need this medication?

* Type 1 diabetes: Used in people who need insulin every day because their body does not make enough insulin. It helps control blood sugar before and after meals as well as throughout the day.

* Type 2 diabetes: Used when blood sugar is not controlled well enough with diet, exercise, and other diabetes medicines. It helps lower high blood sugar and reduce complications over time.

* Blood sugar control when both mealtime and long-acting insulin are needed: Helpful for people who need insulin that starts working quickly for meals and also lasts long enough to provide all-day control.

Dosage and Administration

How to use the drug safely and effectively?

* Usual Dosage: The dose is different for each person and must be prescribed by your doctor. It is usually given once daily with a meal. Your doctor may adjust your dose based on your blood sugar readings, diet, activity level, and whether you are switching from another insulin.

* Method of Administration: Inject under the skin only, usually in the thigh, abdomen, or upper arm. Do not inject into a vein or muscle. Ryzodeg should be used once daily with a meal, preferably the largest meal of the day, or as directed by your doctor. Rotate injection sites to help prevent skin changes. Use the pen exactly as instructed, and never share it with others.

* Important Use Tips: Check your blood sugar regularly while using this insulin. If you skip a meal, ask your doctor what to do before taking your dose. If you are unsure how to use the FlexTouch pen, ask a healthcare professional to show you.

* Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, contact your doctor or follow the instructions given with your medicine. Do not take extra insulin to make up for a missed dose unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
