WHAT ACTRAPHANE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Actraphane is human insulin with both a fast-acting and a long-acting
effect.
Actraphane is used to reduce the high blood sugar level in patients
with diabetes mellitus (diabetes).
Diabetes is a disease where your body does not produce enough insulin
to control the level of your
blood sugar. Treatment with Actraphane helps to prevent complications
from your diabetes.
Actraphane will start to lower your blood sugar about 30 minutes after
you inject it, and the effect will
last for approximately 24 hours.
