About WOSULIN 30/70 DISPOSABLE PEN

WOSULIN 30/70 DISPOSABLE PEN 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.

WOSULIN 30/70 DISPOSABLE PEN is a combination of two drugs, namely: Human insulin (a short-acting type of insulin) and Insulin isophane (intermediate-acting). WOSULIN 30/70 DISPOSABLE PEN suppresses the production of sugar in the liver and facilitates the reuptake of sugar in the fat and muscle cells, thereby WOSULIN 30/70 DISPOSABLE PEN ensures rapid and consistent sugar control. 

Take WOSULIN 30/70 DISPOSABLE PEN as advised by your doctor. If you are not well trained to self-administer WOSULIN 30/70 DISPOSABLE PEN, ask your healthcare professional to administer it. In some cases, WOSULIN 30/70 DISPOSABLE PEN may cause certain common side effects like an allergic reaction at the site of injection, hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level), itching, lipodystrophy (skin thickening or pits at the injection site), oedema (swelling), rashes, and weight gain. Most of these side effects of WOSULIN 30/70 DISPOSABLE PEN do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Consult your doctor before taking WOSULIN 30/70 DISPOSABLE PEN if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. WOSULIN 30/70 DISPOSABLE PEN may cause drowsiness, so drive with caution. Avoid alcohol consumption along with WOSULIN 30/70 DISPOSABLE PEN as it may cause unpleasant side effects. WOSULIN 30/70 DISPOSABLE PEN should be given to children only if prescribed by the doctor. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any interactions.
