WHAT XULTOPHY IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT XULTOPHY IS USED FOR
Xultophy is used to improve blood glucose (sugar) levels in adult
patients with type 2 diabetes
mellitus. You have diabetes because your body:
•
does not make enough insulin to control the level of sugar in your
blood or
•
is not able to use the insulin properly.
HOW XULTOPHY WORKS
Xultophy contains two active substances that help your body control
your blood sugar:
•
insulin degludec – a long-acting basal insulin which lowers your
blood sugar levels.
•
liraglutide – a ‘GLP-1 analogue’ that helps your body make more
insulin during meals and
lowers the amount of sugar made by your body.
XULTOPHY AND ORAL MEDICINES FOR DIABETES
Xultophy is used with oral medicines for diabetes (such as metformin,
pioglitazone and sulfonylurea
medicines). It is prescribed when these medicines (used alone or with
GLP-1 treatment or with basal
insulin) are not enough to control your blood sugar levels.
IF YOU USE GLP-1 TREATMENT
You should stop your GLP-1 treatment prior to starting on Xultophy.
IF YOU USE INSULIN

Xultophy is indicated for the treatment of adults with insufficiently
controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus
to improve glycaemic control as an adjunct to diet and exercise in

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
Xultophy is given once daily by subcutaneous administration. Xultophy
can be administered at any
time of the day, preferably at the same time of the day.
Xultophy 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.
Patients who forget a dose are advised to take it upon discovery and
then resume their usual once-daily
dosing schedule. A minimum of 8 hours between injections should always
be ensured. This also
applies when administration at the same time of the day is not
possible.
Xultophy is administered as dose steps. One dose step contains 1 unit
of insulin degludec and
0.036 mg of liraglutide. The pre-filled pen can provide from 1 up to
50 dose
