Tresiba Flex Touch

Indications

Tresiba FlexTouch is an extra long-acting kind of insulin used to treat both adult and pediatric patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus. It aids in blood sugar regulation by maintaining a constant quantity of insulin in the body throughout the course of the day. This lessens the risk of diabetes-related complications. It is possible to use Tresiba FlexTouch alone, in combination with a fast-acting insulin type, or with additional diabetic medications.

Pharmacology

Control of the glucose digesting system is the primary action of affront, including Affront Degludec. Affront and its analogs lower blood sugar by enhancing peripheral glucose uptake, especially by skeletal muscle and fat, and by reducing hepatic glucose production. Affront also inhibits lipolysis and proteolysis while enhancing protein union. When injected into the subcutaneous tissue resulting from a subcutaneous affront degludec terminal, affront degludec shapes multihexamers. The delayed retention of affront degludec from the subcutaneous tissue to the systemic circulation and, to a lesser extent, the authoritative of affront degludec to circulating albumin, are the primary causes of the prolonged temporal activity profile of affront degludec.

Dosage & Administration

• Ultra-long-acting basal insulin, or Insulin Degludec, is administered once daily, preferably at the same time each day.
• Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: Individual dosage adjustments should be made after a beginning dose of 10 units per day advised.

Type 1 diabetics must use Insulin Degludec once daily in addition to mealtime insulin, and they must then individually alter their dosages.
Insulin Degludec can be given alone or in any combination with bolus insulin, GLP-1 receptor agonists, or oral anti-diabetic medications to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. To meet mealtime insulin needs in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus, Insulin Degludec must be coupled with short- or rapid-acting insulin. Insulin Degludec enables flexibility in the timing of insulin administration when delivery at the same time of day is not practicable. Always make sure there are at least 8 hours between injections. When a patient forgets a dose, they are encouraged to take it right away and then go back to their regular once-daily dosing regimen.

Interactions

Corticosteroids, danazol, diazoxide, diuretics, glucagon, isoniazid, phenothiazine derivatives, somatropin, sympathomimetic agents, thyroid hormones, estrogens, progestins (for example, in oral contraceptives), protease inhibitors, and atypical antipsychotics have a reduced impact on hypoglycemia (e.g. olanzapine and clozapine). Pro inhibitors, disopyramide, fibrates, fluoxetine, MAOIs, pentoxifylline, propoxyphene, salicylates, and sulfonamide anti-microbials have a greater hypoglycaemic effect. Octreotide and lanreotide reduced affront resistance. increased risk of weight gain and peripheral edema with pioglitazone and rosiglitazone. reduced effect of sermorelin.

Contraindications

Intolerance to the active ingredient or to any of the excipients in the medication Diabetic retinopathy, hypoglycemia, and hyperglycemia.

Side Effects

• Nasopharyngitis
• Severe hypoglycemia
• Acute upper respiratory infection
• Headache
• Diarrhea
• Sinusitis
• Hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level)
• Injection site allergic reaction
• Lipodystrophy (skin thickening or pits at the injection site)
• Gastroenteritis
• Reactions to injection sites Emphysema periphery

Pregnancy & Lactation

There are no clinical data on diabetes degludec in pregnant women from well-controlled studies. Animal investigations have not revealed any differences between human insulin degludec and insulin degludec used in animal reproductive studies in terms of embryotoxicity or teratogenicity. Only when the advantages of using diabetes degludec during pregnancy outweigh the risks should it be used. Studies on animal reproduction are not necessarily indicative of how people will react.

Insulin degludec with breastfeeding in the case of a nursing mother has not been investigated in a regulated clinical setting. It is unknown whether human milk contains any excreted insulin.

Precautions & Warnings

• It must not be injected intravenously or intramuscularly, and infusion pumps must not be utilized.
• The use of Insulin Degludec in children and adolescents under the age of 18 has not been studied in detail.

Storage Conditions

Store at 2°C to 8°C in a refrigerator. Do not freeze. In the case of insulin for recent use need not be refrigerated, try to keep it in a cool place and keep it away from heat and light. The insulin in use can be kept at room temperature for a month.
