General Information On Apidra Insulin Vial
Apidra Insulin Vial is an analog of human insulin and is used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Its chemical name is insulin glulisine rDNA origin injection. This insulin is produced with the help of a harmless laboratory strain of Bacteria E.coli. It is produced using a technology that is referred to as recombinant DNA technology. The injection helps patients with diabetes by lowering their level of blood sugar. This further helps the body utilize the sugar efficiently. Apidra Insulin Vial is a rapid acting form of insulin and is often used with longer lasting insulin therapy. It can be used in controlling blood sugar in both adults as well as children.
Side Effects for Apidra Insulin Vial
Like most drugs, Apidra Insulin Vial also comes with some side effects. However, many people report only minor or no side effects when using it. One of the most frequently encountered side effects of the APIDRA vial is Hypoglycemia. Common adverse reactions on the site of the injection include local allergy that manifest in the form of redness and itching. Many people may also suffer from swelling and slight pain. In rare cases, systemic allergic reaction to APIDRA has also been reported. Other common side effects of insulin glulisine rDNA origin injection are URTI (upper respiratory tract infection), headache, influenza, weight gain, peripheral edema and lipodystrophy.
Precautions
One of the most important aspects of any insulin therapy is continuous monitoring of glucose levels. Any changes during the therapy must be made very carefully and only under the supervision of a doctor. Even slight changes like the level of physical activity, eating habits, or change in strength of Apidra Insulin Vial may call for a change in dosage.
Apidra Insulin Vial Dosage
You can buy Apidra Insulin Vial in the form of APIDRA 10ml vials. The injection is a clear, water-like colorless solution that contains 100 units of insulin glulisine in every millilitre of Apidra Insulin Vial. It has the same potency and effects as the normal human insulin when it is given in intravenous form. However, when APIDRA is given subcutaneously, the action is faster as compared to normal human insulin. The dosage needs to be customized for individual patients, and the total insulin dosage may range from 0.5 to up to 1 unit per kg a day.
Interactions
The administration of Apidra Insulin Vial must be closely monitored, as there are many other drugs that can cause fluctuations in blood glucose metabolism. This may mean that your doctor may change the other drug or modify the dosage of APIDRA. The drugs that can cause the increase in effect of APIDRA are oral anti-diabetic medications, ACE inhibitors, MAOI (monoamine oxidase inhibitors), antidepressants such as fluoxetine, and several others.
On the other hand, drugs that can reduce the effect of insulin glulisine rDNA origin injection include diuretics, corticosteroids, niacin, estrogen, and many others. Then, there are some drugs that have the potential of both increasing and decreasing the effect of APIDRA. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that you share the complete list of drugs you are taking with your doctor.
