About INSUCARE R (REGULAR) 40IU INJECTION
INSUCARE R (REGULAR) 40IU INJECTION is 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, the body does not produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. In type 2 diabetes, either the body stops producing enough insulin (a hormone that helps lower blood sugar levels) or the body becomes resistant to insulin. As a result, insulin is produced in large quantities, but it is unable to function properly on the body's organs.
INSUCARE R (REGULAR) 40IU INJECTION contains human insulin, a rapid-acting human insulin analogue. It works by ensuring rapid and consistent sugar control that helps lower blood sugar levels after food intake. It stimulates the recovery of sugar in muscle and fat cells and thus suppresses sugar production in the liver.
Not everyone who is receiving INSUCARE R (REGULAR) 40IU INJECTION 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 INSUCARE R (REGULAR) 40IU INJECTION do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
