INSUGEN 50/50 100IU

Insugen 50/50 100IU Injection is a combination of two medicines, an intermediate-acting and a short-acting type of insulin, primarily used for the treatment of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It maintains blood sugar levels in adults and children.  Diabetes mellitus is a condition that affects the way your 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 is not able to act on the organs of the body.

Insugen 50/50 100IU Injection is a combination of two drugs one is insulin human (a short-acting type of insulin) and the other is insulin isophane (intermediate-acting). Insulin human is a hormone known as ‘insulin’ made in your pancreas, which helps your body utilize glucose (sugar) for energy. Insulin Isophane contains human insulin, used to improve blood sugar control in adults and children with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It maintains blood sugar levels in both adults and children. Insugen 50/50 100IU Injection helps to lower the blood sugar (glucose) level by facilitating the uptake of glucose. It is followed by the binding of insulin to the cells of muscle and fat cells, thereby inhibiting glucose release from the liver. Thus, together Insugen 50/50 100IU Injection helps to decrease blood glucose levels after the intake of meals. Besides this, it also prevents the chances of developing serious complications of diabetes, like damage to the retina (retinopathy), damage to the kidney (nephropathy), damage of nerve cells (neuropathy), diabetic foot ulcer, and others.
