Basalog 100Iu Injection 3Ml

Basalog 100iu Injection is used for the management of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps control blood glucose levels by providing steady background insulin, reducing fasting blood glucose levels, and decreasing glycemic variability. It supports patients with inadequate control from diet and exercise and complements oral antidiabetic medicines.

Follow these instructions while receiving Basalog 100iu Injection:

• It should be administered by a certified professional. You can also self-administer it after practising administration techniques under the guidance of a doctor.

• It is given as a subcutaneous injection only.

• Rotate injection sites within the same area (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm).

• Inspect the solution before use; it should be clear and colourless.

• Do not use if the solution appears cloudy or discoloured.

• It is never administered into a vein or muscle.

• Consult your doctor for specific advice on administration.

Basalog 100iu Injection is administered via a subcutaneous route.

Basalog 100iu Injection contains insulin glargine (100 IU), which works on the body as follows:

• Glucose uptake facilitation: Insulin glargine binds to insulin receptors on cell surfaces, triggering a series of cellular events that increase glucose transporter activity, helping move glucose from the bloodstream into muscle and fat cells.

• Hepatic glucose suppression: It reduces glucose production by the liver (hepatic glucose), which helps lower blood sugar levels.

• Prolonged action mechanism: Unlike regular insulin, insulin glargine forms tiny deposits (microprecipitates) at the injection site due to its special pH properties, creating a reservoir that slowly releases active insulin over approximately 24 hours.

• Supports anabolic processes such as protein synthesis: This medicine encourages protein building in the body, which is an important metabolic function that can be affected in diabetes.

• Store unopened Basalog 100iu Injection in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C.

• Once in use, keep at room temperature below 30°C for up to 28 days.

• Protect from direct sunlight and freezing.

• Never use insulin that appears cloudy or discoloured.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• Monitor your carbohydrate intake carefully and maintain consistent meal timing to help keep your blood glucose levels stable throughout the day.

• Incorporate regular physical activity into your routine, as exercise helps your body use insulin more effectively and can lower your blood glucose levels.
