NOVOMIX INSULIN

Novomix Insulin Information

Novomix insulin is a pharmaceutical product based on insulin, a hormone that is normally secreted by the pancreas and which is responsible for controlling the blood sugar levels. This medicine is available under the form of solution for injections, and comes in pre-filled pens and cartridges. The active ingredient of this medicine is Insulin Aspart, found in a concentration of 30% in the suspension. This substance’s fast action is compensated by the slow effects of a 70% concentration of protamine-crystallized insulin.

Novomix Insulin Indications

Novomix Insulin is typically employed for the treatment of patients suffering from diabetes; however your health care supervisor may prescribe you a treatment with this drug as part of the medication therapy for another medical condition as well. In many cases Novomix Insulin may yield beneficial therapeutic results when used alone or combined with other medicines in the case of certain affections. If you are not sure why you have been recommended to start a treatment course with this medicine or if you would like to obtain further information regarding the possible uses of this pharmaceutical product it is best to seek the advice of your personal health care professional.

Novomix Insulin Warnings

The use of Novomix Insulin is forbidden in the case of patients with hypoglycemia or in that of individuals who present an allergy to this medication. Studies have shown that this medication is not able to cross the placenta. This means that in most cases, the developing fetus should not be exposed to any risks, even if the pregnant female is using Novomix Insulin. However, such patients should be aware of the importance of keeping their blood sugar levels very stable during pregnancy. As the patient’s requirements of insulin are known to vary during pregnancy, special dose-adjustments may be necessary.

Nursing infants are not expected to undergo any medical risk if their mother is using Novomix Insulin. However, breast-feeding females should be prescribed lower doses of this medication. This matter should be discussed with a medical specialist.

Novomix Insulin Intake Guidelines

Patients generally receive their dose(s) of Novomix Insulin as a subcutaneous injection in the wall of the abdomen, in their gluteal region, their deltoid region or their thigh. This product should be administered just before the patient eats; however, it can be given after the individual has had a meal. If you want to administer your doses of this product yourself, you should thoroughly discuss with your health care provider the adequate procedure of administration.

Novomix Insulin Dosage

The physician must focus on determining the lowest dose of Novomix Insulin which grants the needed beneficial results. This is achieved in time, as the patient will have to undergo regular blood tests (in order to determine their blood sugar levels) during their treatment trial with this medication. The starting daily dose of this product ranges between 0.5 and 1.0 U of Novomix Insulin per kilogram (body weight).

Novomix Insulin Overdose

Over-dosage with Novomix Insulin can trigger a severe form of hypoglycemia. The symptoms of this clinical condition are: palpitations, nausea, headache, vision changes (of a temporary nature), abnormal weakness, anxiousness, tremor, pale skin, cold sweats, etc. The severity of these symptoms is known to directly depend on the extra amount of Novomix Insulin which was employed by the patient. Individuals who have been exposed to a mega dose of this product should seek medical attention at once. You should ask your PD to further instruct you.

Novomix Insulin Missed Dose

Missed doses of insulin should be replaced as soon as you get the chance to do so. Even so, if you remember about your missed dose too late (when it is time to use another prescribed dose), you should entirely skip the one that you have neglected, in order to avoid experiencing other complications (double doses of this medication can lead to over-dosage). Mild to moderate hyperglycemia can arise if you forget to employ one of your prescribed doses of Novomix Insulin. However, if such disruptions affect your treatment course on a repeated basis, you may experience more severe consequences (such as severe hyperglycemia). The effectiveness of your therapy course with Novomix Insulin will be decreased. Alert your personal health care provider if you have missed more than one subsequent doses of this medication. He or she will tell you what to do in order to minimize the negative effects that this may have on your therapy course with this product.

Novomix Insulin Side Effects

Like other types of antidiabetic remedies, the use of Novomix insulin can trigger low blood sugar levels (a condition commonly referred to as hypoglycemia). Cases of allergies to this product have been reported. Such patients developed the well known clinical manifestations of such a condition (swelling, breathing problems, hives, etc). If the patient receives frequent injections of Novomix Insulin into the same clinical site, he or she may develop skin pitting or thickening. Other adverse reactions that appear at the site of the injections include: itching, swelling, redness, and so on.

Novomix Insulin Drug Reactions

In some cases, patients with diabetes have been prescribed a complex treatment course, which meant that they had to use Novomix Insulin along with other antidiabetic remedies. However, extra caution should be employed if such a therapy course implies the use of this form of insulin along with Pioglitazone, as severe fluid-related adverse manifestations can occur. A combination between Novomix Insulin and Metformin is considered very effective in the case of patients who have been diagnosed with the presence of type 2 diabetes (the non-insulin dependent form of the disease).
