What is Eglucent Mix25 KwikPen? Eglucent Mix25 KwikPen is a pre-filled insulin pen containing insulin lispro, a fast-acting form of insulin used to manage blood sugar levels in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Manufactured to strict quality standards, this pen is designed to deliver insulin conveniently, accurately and with minimal discomfort. Method of Action Insulin lispro is a rapid-acting insulin analogue, produced using recombinant DNA technology to rapidly replicate the action of endogenous human insulin. It begins to work 15 minutes after injection, reaches its peak effect in approximately 1 to 2 hours, and remains effective for 4 to 5 hours. This rapid action makes it ideal for controlling blood sugar before meals. Eglucent helps the body break down glucose more efficiently by promoting its uptake into muscle and fat cells and reducing the production of glucose by the liver. It mimics the body’s natural response to insulin during food intake. Uses Improves glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 and Type 2 What are the Benefits of Eglucent Mix25 KwikPen (Insulin Lispro)? Eglucent Mix25 KwikPen belongs to a class of drugs called “antidiabetic drugs” and is primarily used to improve blood sugar control in adult diabetic patients. Eglucent Mix25 KwikPen combines insulin lispro and insulin lispro protamine. Insulin is a hormone that acts to lower glucose (sugar) levels in the blood. Insulin lispro is a fast-acting insulin. Insulin lispro protamine is an intermediate-acting insulin. Eglucent mix 25 Kwikpen inhibits sugar production in the liver and promotes sugar reabsorption into fat and muscle cells. Therefore, Eglucent Mix25 KwikPen provides fast and stable blood sugar control. Eglucent Mix25 KwikPen helps prevent serious complications of diabetes such as retina (retinopathy), kidneys (nephropathy), nerve cells (neuropathy), diabetic foot ulcers and various other diabetes-related complications. Eglucent mix 25 KwikPen starts working 10 minutes after injection, reaches its maximum effect within 2 hours and lasts up to 24 hours, thus controlling and maintaining blood sugar levels throughout the day. Dosage and Administration Use Eglucent only as directed by your doctor. It is usually injected subcutaneously into the abdomen, thigh, or arm. Inject before or immediately after meals. Change injection sites regularly to prevent skin thickening and irritation. Alternative dosage of insulin lispro Eglucent Mix25 KwikPen same as Humalog Mix25 KwikPen Eglucent Rapid Kwikpen Humalog 100 IU/ml KwikPen Humalog 100 IU/ml Cartridge Humalog 200 IU/ml Kwikpen Precautions and Warnings Do not share your KwikPen with others, even if you replace the needle. Store unused pens in the refrigerator (2-8°C). Do not freeze. Used pens can be stored at room temperature but should be discarded after 28 days. Check your blood sugar frequently to avoid hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels). Consult your doctor to avoid interactions with all medications you are taking. Not suitable for treating diabetic ketoacidosis. Use under medical supervision. Common side effects: Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) Injection site reactions (redness, swelling) Lipodystrophy (if injection site is not rotated) Weight gain (common to all insulin preparations) What to do in case of an overdose of Eglucent Mix 25 Kwikpen 100 IU/ml? An overdose of Eglucent Mix 25 Kwikpen 100 IU/ml can cause life-threatening hypoglycemia. Symptoms include fluid retention (weight gain), swelling of the hands and feet, and shortness of breath. In case of an overdose of Eglucent Mix 25 Kwikpen 100 IU/ml, consult a doctor immediately. Dietary and lifestyle Advice Eat short, frequent meals and avoid prolonged fasting. Watch for symptoms of hypoglycemia such as sweating, dizziness, palpitations, tremors, intense thirst, dry mouth, dry skin, and frequent urination. If you experience any of these symptoms, immediately consume 5 to 6 candies, 3 glucose biscuits, or 3 teaspoons of honey/sugar and consult your doctor. Always carry these foods with you, especially if you are traveling long distances. Avoid alcohol consumption. You are at increased risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar, which can be fatal) and lactic acidosis (a condition characterized by a buildup of lactic acid in the body, affecting various organs). Try to quit smoking. Reduce your intake of carbohydrate-rich foods such as potatoes, rice, mangoes, bread, and sugar. Avoid foods high in sugar and choose low-calorie foods. If you are traveling across two or more time zones, consult your doctor to adjust your insulin regimen.
