Novomix 30 Flexpen 100IU/ml

Novomix 30 Flexpen 100IU/ml is usually prescribed along with a long-acting insulin or other diabetes medicines. Your doctor or nurse will teach you how to inject it under the skin correctly. If you have type 1 diabetes, inject it up to 15 minutes before you eat a meal, and if you have type 2 diabetes, you may inject it up to 15 minutes before or after starting your meal. Check your blood sugar levels regularly, keep track of your results, and share them with your doctor. This is very important to work out the correct dose of the medicine for you.

Do not use this medicine when you have low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). Tell your doctor if you have ever had kidney, liver, or heart problems before starting treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor as the dose may need to be changed. Do not stop taking it unless your doctor tells you to. It is only part of a treatment program that should include a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight reduction, as your doctor advises.

This medicine's most common side effect is low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). To prevent this, it's important always to inject the correct dose of medicine, have regular meals, and monitor your blood sugar levels regularly. Drinking excessive alcohol can also lead to a fall in your blood sugar levels. Other side effects include allergic reactions, local injection site reactions, lipodystrophy, rash, and pruritus (itching). Some people gain weight while taking insulin. Some people may also notice itching and rash while taking it.

Do not use this medicine when you have low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). Tell your doctor if you have ever had kidney, liver, or heart problems before starting treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor as the dose may need to be changed.

• Diabetes

• Take it 15 minutes before or within 20 minutes after starting a meal.
• Injection below the skin of the abdomen results in faster absorption than other injection sites, such as the skin of the upper arms, thighs, or buttocks. After injection, the site of injection should not be massaged.
• Injection sites must be rotated to prevent hard lumps from developing at one site.
• Change to another type or brand of insulin should be done under strict medical supervision as it may require a change in dosage.
• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) may occur when taken along with other antidiabetic medicines, alcohol, or by delaying/skipping a meal. Carry a sugar source with you for immediate relief.
• Do not share your insulin device with others, even if the needle has been changed. You may give other people a serious infection or get it from them.
• Opened vials/cartridges can be stored at room temperature for up to 4 weeks, while unopened vials must be stored in the refrigerator (2°C–8°C).
