Basic Information On Apidra
Apidra is a form of insulin that is used to treat Type I diabetes. It belongs to a class of medication called insulin analogue. Apidra acts faster in lowering blood glucose levels when compared to natural insulin. It is injected subcutaneously (under the skin) and is prescribed for adults and children over four.
Precautions / Side Effects For Apidra
Like other insulin treatments, Apidra or Insulin glulisine can cause a more than required reduction of blood sugar level (hypoglycemia). The symptoms of low sugar level include dizziness, confusion, increased heart rate and sometimes seizures can also result. Hence, individuals who are on this medication should test their sugar levels regularly. Further, carrying glucose tablets or any other source of glucose will help restore blood sugar levels. Reduced Potasium levels are another side effect of brand or generic Apidra, which results in frequent drying of the mouth and increased thirst.
Dizziness and muscle weakness are caused due to irregular heartbeat, which can become a serious complication. Drastic decrease in potassium levels can be fatal. The injection site of the Apidra drug can sting and turn red. This is the most common side effect that may people experience. An allergic reaction to brand or generic Apidra can result in hives, labored breathing, skin rash and swelling of the face. Weight gain happens over a longer period of time. Individuals allergic to insulin cannot take this medication. This medication is often taken with other treatment. Since Insulin Glulisine acts fast, it should be timed properly with meals to achieve the required effect.
Apidra Dosage
The dosage of Apidra depends on the individual’s response and tolerance. Your doctor may want to monitor your blood glucose while you are undertaking the insulin therapy. The recommended dosage of Apidra is between 0.5 to 1 Unit/kg/day. This dosage may be changed during major illness, stress or with changes in meal patterns, exercise or other co administered drugs. You should take this medicine within fifteen minutes before having a meal or within twenty minutes after starting a meal. This medicine is given in the form of subcutaneous injection and should generally be used in regimens along with a long-acting or intermediate insulin.
