About LYXUMIA 20 PRE FILLED PEN INJECTION
LYXUMIA 20 PRE FILLED PEN INJECTION belongs to the class of 'anti-diabetic medicines' primarily used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (non-insulin-dependent diabetes). Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar levels. It 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) produces little or no insulin at all.
LYXUMIA 20 PRE FILLED PEN INJECTION contains 'Lixisenatide' that belongs to the class of 'incretin mimetics'. Lixisenatide works by increasing insulin release from the pancreas during high blood sugar levels and decreasing the hormones that raise the concentration of blood glucose levels.
Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on your medical condition. Some common side effects of LYXUMIA 20 PRE FILLED PEN INJECTION include headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, dizziness, upset stomach, constipation, and injection site reactions like pain/swelling/itching.
