Human Monotard 40iu Injection 10ml contains regular human insulin (40 IU), which works on the body as follows:

• Glucose transport: Regular human insulin helps move glucose (sugar) from your bloodstream into your cells, where it can be used for energy.

• Blood sugar regulation: It effectively lowers high blood glucose levels by facilitating the entry of sugar into muscle and fat cells.

• Glycogen storage: Regular insulin promotes the storage of excess glucose as glycogen in your liver and muscles, which can be used later when blood sugar levels drop.

• Protein synthesis: It enhances protein synthesis in your body by increasing amino acid uptake into cells, supporting tissue growth and repair.

• Fat metabolism: Regular insulin reduces the breakdown of fat in your body and increases fat storage, helping maintain energy balance.

• Store Human Monotard 40iu Injection 10ml in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C.

• Never freeze the injection as this will damage its effectiveness.

• Opened vials can be kept at room temperature but must be used within four weeks.

• Keep all medicines out of sight and reach of children.

• Check the expiry date before use and never use Human Monotard 40iu Injection 10ml after this date.

• Monitor your carbohydrate intake carefully and follow a balanced diet plan – this helps maintain steady blood glucose levels and reduces the risk of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar).

• Include regular physical activity in your routine, but remember to check your blood glucose before and after exercise – physical activity can lower your blood sugar levels and may require adjustments to your insulin dosage.
