HUMINSULIN R VIAL (40IU/ML) is a pharmaceutical preparation containing Human Insulin of recombinant DNA origin, specifically a short-acting insulin. Each milliliter of the solution contains 40 International Units (IU) of human insulin. It is typically supplied in a 10ml vial.
This medication works by mimicking the natural insulin produced by the body. Insulin is a vital hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar (glucose) levels. In individuals with diabetes mellitus (both Type 1 and Type 2), either the body doesn’t produce enough insulin (Type 1) or it doesn’t use insulin effectively (Type 2).
HUMINSULIN R helps to lower elevated blood glucose levels in several ways:
- Facilitates Glucose Uptake: It helps glucose move from the bloodstream into muscle and fat cells, where it can be used for energy.
- Suppresses Glucose Production: It reduces the production of glucose by the liver, which is a significant source of glucose in the body.
Being a short-acting insulin, HUMINSULIN R begins to work relatively quickly, typically within 20-30 minutes after injection. Its action generally lasts for up to 8 hours. Due to its rapid onset and shorter duration, it is often used in conjunction with a longer-acting insulin or other oral antidiabetic medications to provide comprehensive blood sugar control throughout the day and specifically to manage post-meal blood sugar spikes.
Administration is typically subcutaneous (under the skin), and healthcare professionals instruct patients on the correct injection technique and rotation of injection sites to prevent local skin reactions like lipodystrophy (abnormal changes in fat tissue). Maintaining a consistent meal pattern and regular exercise are crucial alongside this medication for optimal diabetes management.
Common side effects can include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), injection site reactions (pain, redness, swelling, itching), and weight gain. Severe hypoglycemia can be dangerous and requires immediate action (e.g., consuming a fast-acting sugar source).
