Consult your doctor if these symptoms stay for a long time or if they become severe.

Do not skip doses or discontinue the treatment without consulting your doctor as it may cause an increase in your blood sugar levels.

Medicinal Benefits
Basugine Pen has a long and steady blood-sugar-lowering action. Long acting insulin takes about 2 hours to start acting, and is designed to act uniformly so that there is no peak activity as such. The duration of long acting insulin is up to 24 hours. This insulin causes body tissues to absorb glucose from the blood and decreases glucose production by the live.
Basugine Pen helps in improving the glycaemic control which in turn decreases the risk of progression of complications of diabetes like damage of retina (retinopathy), damage of kidney (nephropathy), damage of nerve cells (neuropathy), delayed wound healing, diabetic foot ulcer and others. Besides this, PEN can be safely prescribed to the diabetic mother in the pregnancy as well as lactation stage.
