Insulatard Sc. 40 IU Injection 10 ML contains neutral protamine hagedorn insulin (40 IU), which works on the body as follows:

• Mimics Natural Insulin: This medicine functions similarly to the insulin naturally produced by your pancreas, helping to regulate glucose metabolism in your body.

• Delayed Absorption: The protamine in the formulation slows down how quickly the insulin enters your bloodstream, creating a gradual and sustained release over an extended period.

• Facilitates Glucose Uptake: It helps your body cells absorb glucose (sugar) from your bloodstream, which is essential for producing energy.

• Suppresses Liver Glucose Production: This insulin reduces the amount of glucose your liver produces, helping to maintain proper blood sugar levels.

• Promotes Glycogen Storage: It encourages your body to store excess glucose as glycogen (a stored form of glucose) in your liver and muscles for later use.

• Store unopened vials of Insulatard Sc. 40 IU Injection 10 ML in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C.

• Protect the insulin from direct sunlight and heat.

• Monitor your carbohydrate intake carefully and maintain a consistent meal schedule to help keep your blood glucose (sugar) levels stable while using Insulatard Sc. 40 IU Injection 10 ML.

• Engage in regular physical activity, such as a 30-minute daily walk, as exercise helps your body use insulin more effectively and improves blood glucose control.
