About Equisulin M 30 Injection 100 IU/ml

Equisulin M 30 Injection 100 IU/ml is used for the treatment of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a condition that affects the way the body processes glucose. In Diabetes Mellitus Type 1, the body does not make enough insulin to control blood sugar levels. In Diabetes Mellitus type 2, either the body stops producing enough insulin (the hormone which helps to decrease sugar levels in the blood) or there is resistance to the action of insulin. As a result, insulin is produced in large amounts, but it cannot act on the organs of the body.

Equisulin M 30 Injection 100 IU/ml is a combination of two drugs, namely: Human insulin (a short-acting type of insulin) and Insulin isophane (intermediate-acting). Equisulin M 30 Injection 100 IU/ml suppresses the production of sugar in the liver and facilitates the reuptake of sugar in the fat and muscle cells, thereby Equisulin M 30 Injection 100 IU/ml ensures rapid and consistent sugar control.
