✔️ Drug Interactions

Insulin Human may interact with medicines that change blood glucose levels or alter insulin requirements.

• Other diabetes medicines: May increase the risk of hypoglycaemia.
• Beta-blockers: May mask warning signs such as a rapid heartbeat or tremor.
• ACE inhibitors and salicylates: May increase the glucose-lowering effect in some patients.
• Corticosteroids: May raise blood glucose and increase insulin requirements.
• Thiazide diuretics and thyroid hormones: May alter glucose control or insulin requirements.
• Alcohol: Can cause unpredictable changes in blood glucose and increase the risk of delayed hypoglycaemia.
• Other medicines: Certain antidepressants, hormonal medicines, and medicines used for asthma may also affect glucose control.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, and supplements you take.

✔️ Drug Warnings and Precautions

• Do not administer insulin during an episode of hypoglycaemia.
• Inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, as your insulin requirements may change.
• Do not stop insulin during illness without following your diabetes sick-day plan and your clinician's advice. Illness may increase blood glucose, while vomiting or reduced food intake can also increase the risk of hypoglycaemia.
• Inspect the medicine before use and verify the insulin type and strength.
• Use a new needle for each injection. Never share needles, syringes, or insulin pens.
• Do not inject into bruised, swollen, scarred, or damaged skin.
• Consult your healthcare professional before switching insulin brands, concentrations, or formulations.
• Keep a fast-acting source of glucose available to treat low blood sugar.

• Do not freeze insulin.
• Protect it from excessive heat and direct sunlight.
• Follow the product label for storage after opening; permitted storage conditions and in-use periods vary by formulation and device.
• Do not use regular insulin if the solution is cloudy, discoloured, or contains visible particles. Some NPH and premixed formulations are naturally cloudy and must be handled according to their specific instructions.
