WHAT INSUMAN RAPID IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Insuman Rapid contains the active substance insulin human which is
made by a biotechnology process
and is identical with the body's own insulin.
Insuman Rapid is an insulin solution with a rapid onset and short
duration of action.
Insuman Rapid is used to reduce high blood sugar in patients with
diabetes mellitus who need
treatment with insulin. Diabetes mellitus is a disease where your body
does not produce enough insulin
to control the level of blood sugar. Insuman Rapid may also be used
for treating hyperglycaemic coma
(coma caused by too much blood sugar) and ketoacidosis (build-up of
acid in the blood because the
body is breaking down fat instead of sugar) as well as for controlling
blood sugar before, during and
after surgery.
