Basugine Pen(Device)

Basugine Pen is used for the treatment of diabetes in children and adults. It is a long-acting insulin that consistently works for several hours after injection and provides effective blood sugar control throughout the day.

Basugine Pen may result in low blood sugar levels and you may feel hungry, irritable, dizzy, anxious, or shaky. It is always recommended to eat or drink a fast-acting source of sugar (fruit juice, candy, raisins, etc.) to quickly treat these symptoms. Consult your doctor if these symptoms stay for a long time or if they become severe. Other side effects include weight gain and reaction at the injection side such as redness, itchiness and swelling in the skin, thickening of the skin, etc. Avoid consumption of alcohol as it may also lower your blood sugar levels.

Basugine Pen should be administered exactly as advised by your doctor. This medicine is injected under your skin. Take it at the same time every day to maintain a constant level of this medicine in your body. Do not skip doses or discontinue the treatment without consulting your doctor as it may cause an increase in your blood sugar levels. Follow a proper diet routine and do regular exercise along with this medicine to get the best results.

Basugine Pen is not recommended if you are allergic to it. Inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems. Do not use this medicine in children below 6 years of age. If you are pregnant or are planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, take this medication only if prescribed by your doctor.

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.
