Prescription Required
Product introduction
Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen 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.
Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen 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.

FAQs
What kind of insulin is Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen?
Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen 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 Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen?
Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen 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 Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen, 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 Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen correctly and monitor your blood sugar levels regularly.
How is Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen administered?
Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen 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 Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen.
Can I take Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen twice a day?
Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen 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 Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen?
If you have accidentally taken more than the prescribed dose of Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen, 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 Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen be stored?

In what circumstances will the dose of Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen 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.

Taking certain medicines such as TZDs (thiazolidinediones) may cause heart failure in some people, even if they have never had any heart problems before.
