Lyxumia 10 Solution for Injection
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Lyxumia 10 Solution for Injection is a medicine used to lower blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It works by helping your body produce insulin and reducing the amount of sugar your liver makes.
Lyxumia 10 Solution for Injection belongs to the GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide) group of diabetes medicines. It works by helping your body produce insulin and by reducing appetite. It also helps to reduce weight in some people. This medicine should be stored in a refrigerator until you need it but do not freeze it.
It is normally injected under the skin once daily. The dose will depend on your condition and what other diabetes medicines you are taking. It should be taken within one hour before the first meal of the day preferably the same meal each day. Your doctor or nurse will show you how and where to inject the medicine. Follow the instructions carefully.
Do not stop taking this medicine without talking to your doctor. If you do, your blood sugar levels may increase and put you at risk of serious complications. Remember that it is only part of a treatment program that should also include a healthy diet and regular exercise as advised by your doctor. Your lifestyle plays a big part in controlling diabetes.
The most common side effects of this medicine include nausea, vomiting, headache, diarrhea, and dizziness. It can also lead to low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia) especially if you are also taking other medicines like insulin or sulphonylureas for treatment of diabetes. To prevent this, it is important to have regular meals and always carry a fast-acting source of glucose such as sugary candy or glucose candy with you.
Before using it, let your doctor know if you have any pancreas or stomach problems or severe dehydration (loss of body water) or diabetic ketoacidosis (too much acid in your blood). This medicine may not be suitable. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before using this medicine. If you experience blurred vision, dizziness, or drowsiness due to extremely low or high blood sugar, do not drive, use machinery or do any activity that requires alertness or clear vision until you are sure you can do them safely.

Q. Is Lyxumia 10 Solution for Injection the same as insulin?
No, Lyxumia 10 Solution for Injection is not the same as insulin. Lyxumia 10 Solution for Injection is a synthetic version of exendin-4 (a hormone). It attaches itself to beta-cells in the pancreas and releases insulin. This increased insulin helps to control blood sugar levels in patients with type II diabetes.
Q. Does Lyxumia 10 Solution for Injection cause hypoglycemia?
Lyxumia 10 Solution for Injection itself does not cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). However, it may cause low blood sugar when taken with other antidiabetic medicines or insulin.
Q. Is Lyxumia 10 Solution for Injection safe?
Lyxumia 10 Solution for Injection is safe if used at prescribed doses for the prescribed duration as advised by your doctor.
Q. Does Lyxumia 10 Solution for Injection cause pancreatitis?
Yes, Lyxumia 10 Solution for Injection may cause pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) in a few people. However, this is very rare and is one of the most serious side effects of Lyxumia 10 Solution for Injection. This can happen any time during the course of treatment and can lead to hospitalization or even death. Consult your doctor immediately if you notice severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or inability to eat as these side effects may be signs and symptoms of pancreatitis.
Q. How is Lyxumia 10 Solution for Injection administered?
Lyxumia 10 Solution for Injection is injected just under the skin (subcutaneously) twice daily, usually in the thigh, abdomen (stomach) or upper arm. Your doctor or nurse will show you how and where to inject the medicine. The dose will depend on your condition and what other diabetes medicines you are taking.
