Further information
Taking three separate 1 mg unit dose blisters delivers more insulin to
your lungs than a single 3 mg
unit dose blister does. Three 1 mg unit dose blisters should not be
substituted for one 3mg blister (see
section 2, “Take special care with EXUBERA”, section 3, “How to
take EXUBERA” and section 6
“Further information”).
A unit dose blister is the individual container in which the insulin
powder is packaged and will be
called a blister in the rest of this leaflet.
1.
WHAT EXUBERA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR

the blisters should be
breathed in through your mouth into your lungs using the insulin
inhaler.

lower your blood sugar 10-20
minutes after you take it, with a maximum effect at 2 hours and the
effect will last for around 6 hours.
EXUBERA is often given in combination with other diabetes treatments.

NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT
EXUBERA 1 mg inhalation powder pre-dispensed.
2.
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
Each unit dose blister contains 1 mg insulin human.
The exposure of human insulin following administration of three 1 mg
blisters is significantly greater
than that following a single 3 mg blister. Therefore, the 3 mg blister
is not interchangeable with three
1 mg blisters (see sections 4.2, 4.4 and 5.2).
Produced by recombinant DNA technology in _Escherichia coli._

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
EXUBERA is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with type 2
diabetes mellitus not
adequately controlled with oral antidiabetic agents and requiring
insulin therapy.
EXUBERA is also indicated for the treatment of adult patients with
type 1 diabetes mellitus, in
addition to long or intermediate acting subcutaneous insulin, for whom
the potential benefits of
adding inhaled insulin outweigh the potential safety concerns (see
section 4.4).
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
EXUBERA (inhaled human insulin) is a fast-acting human insulin for use
in type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
Inhaled human insulin may be used alone or in combination with oral
antidiabetic agents and/or long
or intermediate acting subcutaneously administered insulins to
optimise glycaemic control.
EXUBERA is available in 1 mg and 3 mg unit dose blisters which are for
administration via the lungs
by oral inhalation only with the insulin inhaler.
Consecutive inhalation of three 1 mg unit dose blisters causes a
significantly higher insulin exposure
than inhalation of one 3 mg unit dose blister. Therefore three 1 mg
unit dose blisters should not be
substituted for one 3 mg unit dose blister (see sections 2, 4.4 and
5.2).
Inhaled human insulin has a faster ons
