About Tresiba 100U/ml Flextouch 3 ml

Tresiba 100U/ml Flextouch 3 ml used for the treatment of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. 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 correctly in the body's organs.

Tresiba 100U/ml Flextouch 3 ml contains insulin degludec, which helps normalise blood sugar levels by facilitating the movement of sugar from the blood into other tissues of the body. It reduces the risk of severe diabetes complications. It stimulates the recovery of sugar in muscle and fat cells, thereby suppressing the production of sugar in the liver.

Not everyone who is taking Tresiba 100U/ml Flextouch 3 ml 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 Tresiba 100U/ml Flextouch 3 ml do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Tresiba 100U/ml Flextouch 3 ml should be taken before food or advised by your doctor. It should be administered subcutaneously (in the upper thigh, abdomen, upper arm, or buttocks) only. Your doctor will explain how to administer the medicine yourself. However, if it is difficult to inject the medicine, ask a healthcare professional to take it. Along with Tresiba 100U/ml Flextouch 3 ml, you should maintain a healthy diet, engage in regular exercise, and adhere to your doctor's weight management advice.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Tresiba 100U/ml Flextouch 3 ml. Do not take Tresiba 100U/ml Flextouch 3 ml if you have any low blood glucose levels, kidney, liver, or heart problems, or problems with alcohol or other prescription or recreational drugs. Try not to stop receiving Tresiba 100U/ml Flextouch 3 ml of your own. Let your doctor know about this, as it may cause withdrawal symptoms. Tresiba 100U/ml Flextouch 3 ml is a cold chain medicine, and so it must be stored in the refrigerator between 2-8 degrees Celsius, or else its efficiency might get lost. Do not store in the freezer or the fridge.
