Actrapid is a fast-acting soluble human insulin that contains 100 IU/mL of regular insulin. This clear, water-soluble solution provides rapid blood glucose control. Manufactured through recombinant DNA technology, Actrapid delivers precise insulin therapy for diabetes management.

Uses

Actrapid is indicated for the treatment of diabetes mellitus in patients requiring insulin therapy. It’s particularly effective for controlling mealtime blood glucose spikes, managing diabetic ketoacidosis, and providing insulin coverage during surgery or acute illness.

Benefits

  • Provides rapid blood glucose control
  • Offers precise dose adjustments
  • Compatible with insulin pumps
  • Suitable for intravenous administration
  • Effective for emergency glucose management
  • Can be mixed with intermediate-acting insulin
  • Allows flexible meal timing
  • Demonstrates consistent absorption pattern

How It Works

Actrapid functions by binding to insulin receptors, facilitating glucose uptake into cells and inhibiting hepatic glucose production. Its rapid action profile closely mimics the body’s natural mealtime insulin response, providing effective post-prandial glucose control.

Dosage

Usage Type Administration Time Recommended Use
Mealtime 15-30 mins before meals Based on carb intake
Pump Therapy As programmed According to pump settings
Hospital Use As needed Per protocol

Duration of Action

Onset begins within 15-30 minutes of injection, with peak effect occurring between 1-3 hours. The duration of action typically lasts 4-6 hours. Individual response may vary based on dosage and patient factors.

Side Effects

Common side effects include injection site reactions, hypoglycemia, and lipodystrophy. Serious side effects may include severe hypoglycemia or allergic reactions. Regular blood glucose monitoring is essential to minimize risks.

Warning

Risk of severe hypoglycemia if dosing is incorrect or meals are delayed. Never share insulin pens or syringes. Monitor blood sugar closely during dose adjustments. Seek immediate medical attention for severe hypoglycemia or allergic reactions.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Actrapid is safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding under medical supervision. Insulin requirements typically change during pregnancy, necessitating frequent monitoring and dose adjustments.

Interactions

  • Beta-blockers may mask hypoglycemia symptoms
  • Oral diabetes medications may enhance effects
  • Corticosteroids increase insulin requirements
  • MAO inhibitors may increase hypoglycemic effect
  • Alcohol may intensify blood sugar lowering

Precautions

Regular blood glucose monitoring is crucial. Rotate injection sites to prevent tissue changes. Always carry a quick-acting sugar source. Adjust doses for changes in diet, exercise, or illness. Store properly according to manufacturer guidelines.

Important Information

Inspect Actrapid before each use – it should be clear and colorless. Never freeze or expose to temperature extremes. Carry medical identification indicating diabetes and insulin use. Schedule regular medical check-ups for dose adjustments and treatment monitoring. For optimal results with Actrapid, maintain consistent daily routines and meal timing patterns.

How to Use Actrapid:

  1. Preparation:
    • Wash your hands thoroughly.
    • Actrapid is a clear, colorless solution; check for particles or discoloration before use. Do not use it if it appears cloudy or discolored.
    • If using a vial, clean the rubber stopper with an alcohol swab. If using a pen, ensure the pen is loaded with the correct insulin cartridge.
  2. Drawing Insulin (if using a vial):
    • Draw air into the syringe equal to the dose of insulin you need.
    • Insert the needle into the vial and push the air in.
    • Turn the vial upside down and pull back the plunger to draw the correct dose of insulin.
    • Remove any air bubbles by flicking the syringe and adjusting the dose.
  3. Injection:
    • Choose an injection site (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm).
    • Clean the site with an alcohol swab.
    • Pinch the skin gently and insert the needle at a 90-degree angle.
    • Inject the insulin slowly and steadily.
    • Remove the needle and dispose of it safely in a sharps container.
  4. Post-Injection:
    • Avoid massaging the injection site to ensure the insulin absorbs properly.
    • Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly as advised by your healthcare provider.
  5. Storage:
    • Store unopened vials or pens in the refrigerator (2-8°C). Do not freeze.
    • Once opened, store at room temperature and use within 28 days.

Important Information:

  • Actrapid should be taken 30 minutes before meals to control post-meal blood glucose spikes.
  • Be cautious of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Always carry a quick source of sugar, like glucose tablets or juice.
  • Regular monitoring of blood glucose is essential to adjust doses appropriately.
