Uses of Apidra |
|---|
| | Apidra is also known by the generic name Insulin Glulisine
USES:
Insulin glulisine is a man-made product almost identical to human insulin. It is used to treat diabetes mellitus. Like other insulin products, it works by helping sugar (glucose) get into cells. It starts working faster and lasts for a shorter time than regular insulin.
Insulin glulisine is usually used in combination with a medium- or long-acting insulin product to control high blood sugar.
Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
