About Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Penfill 3 ml

Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Penfill 3 ml belongs to the class of medications called ‘antidiabetics’ primarily used for the treatment of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It maintains blood sugar levels in adults and children. In Diabetes Mellitus Type 1, the body does not produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. On the other hand, in Diabetes Mellitus type 2, either the body stops producing enough insulin (a hormone that helps lower blood sugar levels), or there is resistance to insulin action. As a result, insulin is produced in large quantities, but it is not capable of operating on the body's organs.

Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Penfill 3 ml is a combination of two drugs, namely, Insulin Aspart and Insulin Degludec. Insulin aspart is a fast-acting or short-acting form of insulin that helps lower blood sugar levels after food intake. Insulin degludec is a long-acting form of insulin which begins working after 60 minutes and is a long-acting insulin preparation (lasts for more than 24 hours). Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Penfill 3 ml stimulates the recovery of sugar in muscle and fat cells and suppresses sugar production in the liver. Together, Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Penfill 3 ml confirm rapid and stable sugar control by helping reuptake of sugar in fat cells and muscle, and suppressing the creation of sugar in the liver.

Take Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Penfill 3 ml as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Penfill 3 ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical conditions. You may experience rash, injection site allergic reaction, weight gain, oedema (tissue swelling or fluid overload), lipodystrophy (skin thickening or pits at the injection site), hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level), itching. Most of these side effects of Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Penfill 3 ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Try not to stop taking Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Penfill 3 ml of your own. Let your doctor know about this, as it may cause withdrawal symptoms. Do not take Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Penfill 3 ml if you have any low blood glucose levels, kidney, liver, or heart problems, or problems with alcohol or other prescription recreational drugs.

Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Penfill 3 ml is a cold chain medicine, and so it must be stored in the refrigerator between 2-8 degrees Celsius else its efficiency might get lost.
