1 What Monotard is
Monotard is human insulin to treat diabetes. It comes in a 10 ml vial
that you use to fill a syringe.
Monotard is a long-acting insulin. This means that it will start to
lower your blood sugar about 2 ½
hours after you take it, and the effect will last for approximately 24
hours. Monotard is often given in
combination with fast-acting insulins.

4.2
Posology and method of administration
Monotard is a long-acting insulin.
Dosage
Dosage is individual and determined by the physician in accordance
with the needs of the patient.
The average range of total daily insulin requirement for maintenance
therapy in type 1 diabetic patients
lies between 0.5 and 1.0 IU/kg. In pre-pubertal children it usually
varies from 0.7 to 1.0 IU/kg. During
the period of partial remission, the insulin requirements can be much
lower, whereas in insulin resistant
states e.g. during puberty or due to obesity, the daily insulin
requirement may be substantially higher.
Initial dosages for type 2 diabetic patients are often lower, e.g. 0.3
to 0.6 IU/kg/day.
The physician determines whether one or several daily injections are
necessary. Monotard may be used
alone or mixed with fast-acting insulin. In intensive insulin therapy
the suspension may be used as
basal insulin (evening and/or morning injection) with fast-acting
insulin given at meals.
In patients with diabetes mellitus optimised glycaemic control delays
the onset and slows the
progression of late diabetic complications. Blood glucose monitoring
is therefore recommend
