About Lupisulin R (Regular) 100IU/ml Injection 3 ml

Lupisulin R (Regular) 100IU/ml Injection 3 ml belongs to the group of medications called 'antidiabetics' used to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which glucose levels are elevated in the body. In type 1 diabetes, the body does not make enough insulin (a hormone essential for glucose metabolism). In type 2 diabetes, either the body stops producing enough insulin or there is resistance to the action of insulin.

Lupisulin R (Regular) 100IU/ml Injection 3 ml contains 'Human Insulin'. It replaces the deficient hormone 'insulin' in patients with diabetes. Lupisulin R (Regular) 100IU/ml Injection 3 ml suppresses the production of sugar in the liver and facilitates the reuptake of sugar in the fat and muscle cells; thereby, Lupisulin R (Regular) 100IU/ml Injection 3 ml ensures rapid and consistent sugar control. It starts to work within 30 min after injection, and its action lasts up to 8 hours.

Take Lupisulin R (Regular) 100IU/ml Injection 3 ml as prescribed by your doctor. A healthcare professional will teach you how to take the injection. It can cause some side effects, such as low blood sugar, swelling in your hands or feet, weight gain, or thickening of the skin at the injection site. Consult your doctor if any of these side effects persist or get worsen.

Do not take Lupisulin R (Regular) 100IU/ml Injection 3 ml if you are allergic to insulin or have an episode of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Talk to your doctor if you have a history of liver or kidney diseases and if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Also, inform your doctor if you are taking any other anti-diabetic medications. If you experience an episode of hypoglycemia, seek medical attention immediately.

Uses of Lupisulin R (Regular) 100IU/ml Injection 3 ml

Medicinal Benefits

Drug-Drug Interactions

Login/Sign Up

How does the drug interact with Lupisulin R (Regular) 100IU/ml Injection 3 ml:
The use of antibiotic (quinolones) has been linked to disruptions in blood glucose maintenance. There have been reports of both decrease in glucose and increase in glucose, mainly in diabetic individuals undergoing concurrent therapy with insulin or an oral antidiabetic medication.

How to manage the interaction:
Blood glucose should be closely watched, particularly if the patient is elderly, has renal impairment, or is very sick. When using insulin and insulin secretagogues (such as meglitinides and sulfonylureas) together, extra vigilance is suggested due to the possibility of severe and potentially hypoglycemia.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Diabetes mellitus: It is a metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar levels. Type 1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes) is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks and destroys its own cells in the pancreas, thereby producing no insulin. It often occurs in childhood. Type 2 diabetes (adult-onset diabetes) 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 produces little or no insulin at all. Symptoms include frequent urination, increased thirst, hunger, and blurred vision. The treatment includes oral glucose-lowering medicines and insulin shots.
