Description:
Humalog 100IU/ml Kwikpen is a fast-acting insulin used to improve blood sugar control in individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps lower blood sugar levels after meals, thereby reducing the risk of serious diabetes-related complications.
Typically, it is prescribed alongside a long-acting insulin or other diabetes medications. The injection is administered under the skin, usually 15 minutes before or within 20 minutes after starting a meal, as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions closely and not discontinue the medication without medical advice. This insulin is part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan that includes a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and weight control.
Monitoring blood sugar levels regularly and sharing the results with your doctor is crucial for determining the appropriate dosage. The most common side effect is hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), which can be prevented by using the correct dose, eating regular meals, and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption. Other possible side effects include allergic reactions at the injection site, such as redness, swelling, or lumps (lipodystrophy), as well as weight gain. The medication should not be used during episodes of hypoglycemia, and individuals with a history of kidney, liver, or heart problems should inform their doctor before starting treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor, as dosage adjustments may be necessary.
