About CONSEGNA 30/70 INJ 3ML

CONSEGNA 30/70 INJ 3ML used for the treatment of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It maintains blood sugar levels in adults and children. In Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, the body does not produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. In type 2 diabetes mellitus, either the body stops producing enough insulin (a hormone that helps lower blood sugar levels) or there is resistance to the action of insulin. As a result, insulin is produced in large quantities, but it is unable to function properly on the body's organs.

CONSEGNA 30/70 INJ 3ML is a combination medicine that works by promoting the recovery of sugar in muscle and fat cells and suppressing sugar production in the liver. Together, CONSEGNA 30/70 INJ 3ML confirms rapid and stable sugar control.

Not everyone who is taking CONSEGNA 30/70 INJ 3ML will get these side effects. You may experience rash, injection site allergic reaction, weight gain, edema (tissue swelling or fluid overload), skin thickening at the injection site, low blood glucose levels, and itching. Most of these side effects of CONSEGNA 30/70 INJ 3ML do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

CONSEGNA 30/70 INJ 3ML should be taken as advised by your doctor. It should be administered subcutaneously (in the upper thigh, abdomen, upper arm, or buttocks) only.
