About Erly 6 mg/ml PFP Cartridge 3 ml

Erly 6 mg/ml PFP Cartridge 3 ml belongs to the class of anti-diabetic drugs, primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in the children above 10 years and adult.

Erly 6 mg/ml PFP Cartridge 3 ml contains Liraglutide a recombinant Deoxyribonucleic acid (rDNA) which works by increasing insulin release from the pancreas during high blood sugar levels (after meal) and decreases the amount of sugar the liver makes.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Diabetes mellitus: Also known as adult-onset diabetes, is a metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar levels. It is a type 2 diabetes and occurs when the insulin (a hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas) is resistant in breaking the glucose to produce energy (insulin resistance) or the pancreas (an organ behind the stomach) produce little or no insulin at all. This disease mostly occurs in people aged above 40 years, but can also occur in childhood based on the risk factors. The treatment includes oral glucose-lowering medicines and insulin shots.
