CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Lyxumia is indicated for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes
mellitus to achieve glycaemic
control in combination with oral glucose-lowering medicinal products
and/or basal insulin when these,
together, with diet and exercise, do not provide adequate glycaemic
control (see sections 4.4 and 5.1
for available data on the different combinations).
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
_ _
Posology
Starting dose: dosing is initiated at 10 mcg lixisenatide once daily
for 14 days.
Maintenance dose: a fixed maintenance dose of 20 mcg lixisenatide once
daily is started on Day 15.
For the starting dose Lyxumia 10 micrograms solution for injection is
available.
For the maintenance dose Lyxumia 20 micrograms solution for injection
is available.
When Lyxumia is added to existing metformin therapy, the current
metformin dose can be continued
unchanged.
When Lyxumia is added to existing therapy of a sulphonylurea or a
basal insulin, a reduction in the
dose of the sulphonylurea or the basal insulin may be considered to
reduce the risk of hypoglycaemia.
Lyxumia should not be given in combination with basal insulin and a
sulphonylurea due to increased
risk of hypoglycaemia (see section 4.4).
The use of Lyxumia does not require specific blood glucose monitoring.
However, when used in
combination
