About Xsulin 30/70 40IU Injection

Xsulin 30/70 40IU Injection is used to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which glucose levels are elevated in the body. In type 1 diabetes, the body does not make enough insulin (a hormone essential for glucose metabolism). In type 2 diabetes, either the body stops producing enough insulin, or there is resistance to the action of insulin.

Xsulin 30/70 40IU Injection contains 'Human Insulin'. It replaces the deficient hormone 'insulin' in patients with diabetes. Xsulin 30/70 40IU Injection suppresses the production of sugar in the liver and facilitates the reuptake of sugar in the fat and muscle cells; thereby, Xsulin 30/70 40IU Injection ensures rapid and consistent sugar control. It starts to work within 30 min after injection, and its action lasts up to 8 hours.

Take Xsulin 30/70 40IU Injection as prescribed by your doctor. A healthcare professional will teach you how to take the injection. It can cause some side effects, such as low blood sugar, swelling in your hands or feet, weight gain, or thickening of the skin at the injection site. Consult your doctor if any of these side effects persist or get worse.

Do not take Xsulin 30/70 40IU Injection if you are allergic to insulin or have an episode of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Talk to your doctor if you have a history of liver or kidney diseases and if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Also, inform your doctor if you are taking any other anti-diabetic medications. If you experience an episode of hypoglycemia, seek medical attention immediately.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Diabetes mellitus: It is a metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar levels. Type 1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes) is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks and destroys its own cells in the pancreas, thereby producing no insulin. It often occurs in childhood. Type 2 diabetes (adult-onset diabetes) occurs when the insulin (a hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas) is resistant in breaking the glucose to produce energy (insulin resistance) or the pancreas produces little or no insulin at all. Symptoms include frequent urination, increased thirst, hunger, and blurred vision. The treatment includes oral glucose-lowering medicines and insulin shots.
