1.
WHAT ACTRAPID IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Actrapid is human insulin with a fast-acting effect.
Actrapid 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 Actrapid helps to prevent complications
from your diabetes.
Actrapid will start to lower your blood sugar about half an hour after
you inject it, and the effect will
last for approximately 8 hours. Actrapid is often given in combination
with intermediate-acting or
long-acting insulin preparations.
