THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS

4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The desired blood glucose levels, the insulin preparations to be used
and the insulin dose regimen
(doses and timings) must be determined individually and adjusted to
suit the patient’s diet, physical
activity and life-style.
_Daily doses and timing of administration _
There are no fixed rules for insulin dose regimen. However, the
average insulin requirement is often
0.5 to 1.0 IU per kg body weight per day. The basal metabolic
requirement is 40% to 60% of the total
daily requirement. Insulin Human Winthrop Rapid is injected
subcutaneously 15 to 20 minutes before
a meal.
In the treatment of severe hyperglycaemia or ketoacidosis in
particular, insulin administration is part
of a complex therapeutic regimen which includes measures to protect
patients from possible severe
complications of a relatively rapid lowering of blood glucose. T
