CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS Treatment of diabetes mellitus in adults, adolescents and children from the age of 1 year. 4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION Posology This medicinal product is a basal insulin for once-daily subcutaneous administration at any time of the day, preferably at the same time every day. The potency of insulin analogues, including insulin degludec, is expressed in units. One (1) unit of insulin degludec corresponds to 1 international unit of human insulin, 1 unit of insulin glargine (100 units/mL), or 1 unit of insulin detemir. In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, this medicinal product can be administered alone or in any combination with oral antidiabetic medicinal products, GLP-1 receptor agonists and bolus insulin (see section 5.1). In type 1 diabetes mellitus, Tregludec 100 units/mL must be combined with short-/rapid-acting insulin to cover mealtime insulin requirements. Tregludec 100 units/mL is to be dosed in accordance with the individual patient’s needs. It is recommended to optimise glycaemic control via dose adjustment based on fasting plasma glucose. Adjustment of dose may be necessary if patients undertake increased physical activity, change their usual diet or during concomitant illness. The needed dose is dialled in units. A dose of 1–80 units per injection, in steps of 1 unit, can be administered. The dose counter shows the number of units regardless of strength and NO dose conversion should be done when transferring a patient to a new strength. _Flexibilit Aqra d-dokument sħiħ
