Introduction

Xglar One 100IU Prefilled Syringe can be prescribed alone or along with fast-acting insulin or other diabetes medicines. Your doctor or nurse will teach you the correct way of injecting it under the skin. You should use this medicine regularly as 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 also include a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight reduction as advised by your doctor. The most common side effect of this medicine 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.

Your doctor or nurse will use this device to give medicine. You or your caregiver may be taught on how to use this device at home.

Xglar One 100IU Prefilled Syringe is a long-acting insulin that provides consistent, all-day sugar control. It works like your body's natural insulin. Insulin facilitates reuptake of sugar in muscle and fat cells and also suppresses the production of sugar in the liver.

Xglar One 100IU Prefilled Syringe is injected under the skin. It needs to be injected once daily at the same time every day. Injection below the skin of the abdomen results in faster absorption than other injection sites. Injection sites must be rotated to prevent hard lumps from developing at one site. Exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, and take your other diabetes medicines (if prescribed) alongside. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) is a common side effect. Hence, regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is required while taking this medicine. Always carry some high sugar food such as sugar candy or glucose candy, fruit juice, and glucose/glucon-D with you so that you can take it when you experience hypoglycemia symptoms such as cold sweats, cool pale skin, tremors, weakness, and anxiety. Opened vials/cartridge stay good at room temperature for up to 4 weeks, while unopened vials must be placed in the refrigerator (2°C–8°C). Do not use if the preparation is no longer clear and colorless or if it contains particles.
