How Wosulin R 40iu Injection 10ml Works?

Wosulin R Injection is a combination medication composed of two key components:

Regular Human Insulin (40 IU/ml): This component works by mimicking the effects of insulin produced by the human body. It binds to insulin receptors on cell surfaces, triggering cellular processes that lead to increased glucose uptake, reduced glucose production by the liver, and inhibition of lipolysis and proteolysis. These actions collectively help in lowering blood sugar levels.
M-Cresol (0.25%): This component acts as a preservative in the insulin solution, helping maintain its sterility and stability.

Pregnancy

Wosulin R Injection can be used during pregnancy if clinically necessary. Regular monitoring of glucose levels and potential dose adjustments may be needed. It's best to consult your doctor before using this medicine when pregnant.

Breastfeeding

Wosulin R Injection can be used while breastfeeding if clinically necessary. Consult your doctor for advice on maintaining optimal glucose levels during lactation.

Alcohol

Drinking alcohol while using Wosulin R Injection can increase the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). It's recommended to consult your doctor about the safe limits of alcohol consumption.

Liver

If you have liver problems, it's important to discuss this with your doctor before starting Wosulin R Injection. Your insulin dosage may need adjusting as liver impairment may alter insulin metabolism.

Kidney

Caution is advised when using Wosulin R Injection for those with kidney health issues. Your doctor should be consulted, as kidney impairment may affect insulin metabolism.

Using Machines & Driving

Hypoglycemia caused by insulin therapy, such as with Wosulin R Injection, can affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. Be aware of the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia and take appropriate precautions.

Allergy

In rare cases, an allergic reaction to insulin or other ingredients in Wosulin R Injection might occur. Symptoms could include rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If you have known allergies, discuss these with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Children

Wosulin R Injection is an adult-use medicine and is not generally recommended for children under 18 years old without medical supervision.

Older Patients

Older patients should use Wosulin R Injection under medical supervision due to potentially greater susceptibility to its effects. Consultation with a doctor is especially important for older patients who might have liver and kidney issues or might be on other medication.
