POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Actrapid
®
is a fast-acting insulin and may be used in combination with
long-acting insulin products.
DOSAGE
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.
An injection should be followed within 30 minutes by a meal or snack
containing carbohydrates.
DOSAGE ADJUSTMENT
Concomitant illness, especially infections and feverish conditions,
usually increases the patient’s insulin
requirement. Concomitant diseases in the kidney, liver or affecting
the adrenal, pituitary or thyroid gland can
require changes in the insulin dose. Adjustment of dosage may also be
necessary if patients change physical
activity or their usual diet. Dosage adjustment may be necessary when
transferring patients from one insulin
preparation to another.
ADMINISTRATION
For subcutaneous or intravenous use.
Actrapid
®
is administered subcutaneously by injection in the abdominal wall. If
convenient, the thigh, the
gluteal region or the deltoid region may also be used. Injection sites
should always be rotated within the
same region in order to reduce the risk of
