Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2 is a long-acting type of insulin used to treat types 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus in both adults and children. It provides a steady level of insulin in the body for an entire day and helps control blood sugar levels. This helps to prevent complications of diabetes.

Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2 can be prescribed alone or in combination with fast-acting insulin or other diabetes medicines. Your doctor or nurse will teach you how to inject it under the skin correctly. You should use this medicine regularly per the dose advised to get the maximum benefit. If you stop taking it, your blood sugar levels may rise very high, which may put you at risk of serious complications. It is only a part of the treatment program that should include a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight reduction, as your doctor advises.

This medicine's most common side effect is low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). To prevent this, it is important to inject only the correct dose of medicine, have regular meals, and monitor your blood sugar levels regularly. Drinking excessive alcohol can also lead to a fall in your blood sugar levels. Other common side effects include peripheral edema, lipodystrophy, allergic reactions, injection site reactions, itching, rashes, and weight gain.

Do not use this medicine when you have low blood sugar levels. Before starting the treatment, inform your doctor if you have ever had kidney, liver, or heart problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using it.

Dr. Sanjay Bhatt

Physician

Diabetes is a medical condition in which sugar, or glucose, levels build up in your bloodstream. There?s not enough insulin to move the sugar into your cells, which are where the sugar is used for energy. This causes your body to rely on alternative energy sources in your tissues, muscles, and organs. This is a chain reaction that can cause a variety of symptoms. Type 2 diabetes can develop slowly. The symptoms may be mild and easy to dismiss at first. The early symptoms may include: constant hunger a lack of energy fatigue weight loss excessive thirst frequent urination dry mouth itchy skin blurry visionDiet is an important tool to keep your heart healthy and blood sugar levels within a safe and healthy range. It doesn?t have to be complicated or unpleasant. The diet recommended for people with type 2 diabetes is the same diet just about everyone should follow. It boils down to a few key actions: Eat meals and snacks on schedule. Choose a variety of foods that are high in nutrition and low in empty calories. Be careful not to overeat. Read food labels closely.

FAQs

What kind of insulin is Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2?

Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2 is a man-made insulin that is very similar to human insulin. It has a long and steady (constant) effect on blood sugar levels, lasting an entire day. This makes it suitable for use once daily. It treats type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults and type 1 diabetes mellitus in adults and children.

What should I know before using Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2?

Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2 is injected under the skin (subcutaneously) with a pen-like device or an insulin syringe and needle. There are various areas on the body where insulin can be injected, such as the abdomen (stomach area), thighs (upper portion of legs), upper arms, hips, or buttocks. Your doctor will show you the area of your skin where you should inject it. Never inject it directly into a vein or a muscle. Before using Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2, make sure the solution is colorless and free of particles. It should strictly be taken in the dose that has been prescribed to you. Follow your doctor’s instructions on administering Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2 correctly and monitor your blood sugar levels regularly.

How is Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2 administered?

Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2 is injected just below the skin (subcutaneously). Your doctor will train you on the correct method and the areas (abdomen or stomach, thighs, arms, hips, or buttocks) where you should inject it. It is advised that the injection site should be changed within the chosen skin area for every dose. For example, if you have been advised to inject it into the skin of your stomach, avoid puncturing the same point on your stomach every day. Instead, inject the needle at a site that is slightly away, say around 1cm, from the previous injection. You can also consider switching sides while injecting, like choosing the right side on one day and the left side on the next day. This way, you can reduce the complications associated with repeated injections in the same site, such as thickening of the fat tissue below the skin, known as lipodystrophy, irritation, pain, etc. After one to two weeks, you should move to another area of your body (e.g., from the stomach to the arms or thighs) as your doctor advises. Consult your doctor if you face any problems while injecting Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2.

Can I take Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2 twice a day?

Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2 is long-acting and usually prescribed to be taken once daily. It can be taken at any time, but try to take it at the same time each day.

What will happen if I accidentally inject more than the prescribed dose of Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2?

If you have accidentally taken more than the prescribed dose of Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2, your blood sugar levels may become too low (hypoglycemia). This hypoglycemia may be mild or severe. Monitor your blood sugar levels more frequently for the next 24 hours. Mild episodes of hypoglycemia (with symptoms like anxiety, sweating, weakness, tremors, and fast heartbeat) can usually be corrected with the help of sugary foods such as sugary candy, fruit juice, and glucose. However, it is important to consult your doctor to decide on a further course of treatment. More severe episodes of hypoglycemia may even lead to a seizure (fit) or unconsciousness. This can be life-threatening, and the patient should be rushed to an emergency.

How should Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2 be stored?

Keep this medication out of the reach of children in the container it came in. Store unopened vials and pens in the refrigerator, but do not freeze them. An unopened Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2 can be stored in the refrigerator until the date shown on the company's label. Moreover, never use Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2 that has been frozen or defrosted. If a refrigerator is unavailable, the vials can be stored at room temperature and away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. It should appear as a clear, colorless solution free from particles.

In what circumstances will the dose of Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2 need to be changed?

You should consult your doctor about the scenarios where you may need to adjust your insulin dose. For example, if you are ill, you should monitor your blood sugar levels more closely. You must tell your doctor about all the medicines you are taking because many medicines can affect how insulin acts, and you may need to modify your dose. Your eating habits may also affect your dose; for example, if you eat less someday, skip a meal, or eat more than usual. Your blood sugar level may alter depending on your exercise regime, alcohol consumption, or stress. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before taking Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2 as they may need to change their dose.

What are the serious side effects of Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2?

Serious side effects are rare with Glaritus 100IU/ml Dispopen 2. Sometimes, severe allergic reactions may be seen with it. This can lead to rash, hives, itching all over the body, trouble breathing (wheezing), fast heart rate, and low blood pressure. Get medical help right away if you develop any of these symptoms. Other side effects include severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels), which can cause dizziness, sweating, anxiety, confusion, headache, blurred vision, slurred speech, shakiness, fast heartbeat, seizure (fit), and unconsciousness. Taking certain medicines such as TZDs (thiazolidinediones) may cause heart failure in some people, even if they have never had any heart problems before. Some people may also notice sudden weight gain and swelling (edema) of ankles or feet. Consult your doctor immediately if you notice any of these side effects.
