POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
This phosphate-buffered soluble insulin is intended for continuous
subcutaneous insulin infusion
(CSII) in external insulin infusion pumps.
Velosulin is a fast-acting insulin and may be used in combination with
certain long-acting insulin
products. For incompatibilities see section 6.2.
Dosage
Dosage is individual and determined by the physician in accordance
with the needs of the patient.
Usually, 40-60% of the total daily dose is given as a continuous basal
rate and the remaining 40-60%
as boluses divided between the three main meals.
In general, when patients are transferred from injection to infusion
therapy, it may be advisable to
reduce the dosage by initiating the patient at 90% of the previous
total daily dosage, with 40% as
basal rate and 50% as boluses divided between the three main meals.
Dosage is individual and determined in accordance with the needs of
the patient. The individual
insulin requirement is usually between 0.3 and 1.0 IU/kg/day. The
daily insulin requirement may be
higher in patients with insulin resistance (e.g. during puberty or due
to obesity) and lower in patients
with residual, endogenous insulin production.
In patients with diabetes mellitus optimised glycaemic control delays
