Eglucent Rapid 100iu Cartridges contain several active and non-active ingredients, each serving a specific function to ensure the effectiveness of the medicine:

• Insulin Lispro (100 IU): This is a rapid-acting human insulin analogue. It binds to insulin receptors on cells and triggers cellular processes that facilitate glucose uptake from the blood into skeletal muscle and fat tissues. This mechanism also inhibits glucose production in the liver, assisting in lowering blood glucose levels overall.

• Dibasic Sodium Phosphate (1.88 mg): Acts as a buffering agent to maintain the pH of the formulation, ensuring the stability and effectiveness of the insulin lispro.

• Glycerol (16 mg): Serves as a tonicity modifier, helping to create an isotonic solution for better absorption of insulin lispro.

• Metacresol (3.15 mg): Included as an antimicrobial preservative, it ensures the longevity and safety of the formulation by preventing microbial contamination.

• Store unopened Eglucent Rapid 100iu Cartridges in a refrigerator at temperatures between 2°C to 8°C.

• Protect from direct heat and light, and never freeze the cartridges.

• Used cartridges can be preserved at room temperature below 30°C for up to 28 days.

• Keep the cartridges out of reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date and discard the cartridge after 28 days, even if it still contains insulin.

• To manage your diabetes better, include foods high in fibre, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, in your diet. These slow down glucose absorption and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

• Regular physical activity is crucial. Try to engage in moderate-intensity exercise for at least 30 minutes every day. This can be as simple as brisk walking, cycling or swimming. Exercise helps improve insulin sensitivity and helps control blood glucose levels. Remember to consult your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.
