About Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Flextouch

INSULIN ASPART+INSULIN DEGLUDEC belongs to the class of medications called ‘antidiabetics’ primarily used for the treatment of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It maintains blood sugar levels in adults and children. In Diabetes Mellitus Type 1, the body does not produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. On the other hand, in Diabetes Mellitus type 2, either the body stops producing enough insulin (a hormone that helps lower blood sugar levels), or there is resistance to insulin action. As a result, insulin is produced in large quantities, but it is not capable of operating on the body's organs.

Medicinal Benefits of Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Flextouch

INSULIN ASPART+INSULIN DEGLUDEC belongs to the class of medications called ‘antidiabetics’ primarily used for the treatment of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. INSULIN ASPART+INSULIN DEGLUDEC is a combination of two drugs, namely, Insulin Aspart and Insulin Degludec. INSULIN ASPART+INSULIN DEGLUDEC contains insulin aspart, which is a fast-acting form of insulin that helps lower blood sugar levels after food intake. INSULIN ASPART+INSULIN DEGLUDEC contains insulin degludec, which is a prolonged action form of insulin. It typically begins working after 60 minutes and is a long-acting insulin preparation (lasts for more than 24 hours). Together, they confirm rapid and stable sugar control by helping reuptake sugar in fat and muscle, and cells and suppressing the creation of sugar in the liver.
