Description-

Insugen 50/50 Injection 100IU/ml is used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus (type 1 and 2) to improve blood sugar control both in adults and children. It helps maintain the blood sugar levels in diabetic patients. Insugen 50/50 Injection 100IU 10 ml is a combination of two drugs one is insulin human (a short-acting type of insulin) and the other is insulin isophane (intermediate-acting). Insulin human is a hormone known as insulin made in your pancreas, which helps your body utilize glucose (sugar) for energy. Insulin Isophane contains human insulin. It maintains blood sugar levels in both adults and children. Insugen 50/50 Injection 100IU 10 ml helps to lower the blood sugar (glucose) level by facilitating the uptake of glucose. It is followed by the binding of insulin to the cells of muscle and fat cells thereby inhibiting glucose release from the liver. Besides this, it also prevents the chances of developing serious complications of diabetes like damage of retina (retinopathy), damage of kidney (nephropathy), damage of nerve cells (neuropathy), diabetic foot ulcer, and others.
