Question 1

Accepted Answer

Nobeglar-Uno Solution for Injection is a man-made insulin that is very similar to human insulin. It has a long and steady (constant) effect on blood sugar levels, lasting an entire day.

Question 2

What should I know before using Nobeglar-Uno Solution for Injection?

Accepted Answer

Nobeglar-Uno Solution for Injection is injected under the skin (subcutaneously) with a pen-like device or an insulin syringe and needle. There are various areas on the body where insulin can be injected, such as the abdomen (stomach area), thighs (upper portion of legs), upper arms, hips, or buttocks. Your doctor will show you the area of your skin where you should inject it.
Never inject it directly into a vein or a muscle. Before using Nobeglar-Uno Solution for Injection, make sure the solution is colorless and free of particles. It should strictly be taken in the dose that has been prescribed to you. Follow your doctor’s instructions on administering Nobeglar-Uno Solution for Injection correctly and monitor your blood sugar levels regularly.

Question 3

How is Nobeglar-Uno Solution for Injection administered?

Accepted Answer

Nobeglar-Uno Solution for Injection is injected just below the skin (subcutaneously). Your doctor will train you on the correct method and the areas (abdomen or stomach, thighs, arms, hips, or buttocks) where you should inject it. It is advised that the injection site should be changed within the chosen skin area for every dose. For example, if you have been advised to inject it into the skin of your stomach, avoid puncturing the same point on your stomach every day. Instead, inject the needle at a site that is slightly away, say around 1 cm, from the previous injection.
You can also consider switching sides while injecting, like choosing the right side on one day and the left side on the next day. This way, you can reduce the complications associated with repeated injections in the same site, such as thickening of the fat tissue below the skin, known as lipodystrophy, irritation, pain, etc. After one to two weeks, you should move to another area of your body (e.g., from the stomach to the arms or thighs) as your doctor advises. Consult your doctor if you face any problems while injecting Nobeglar-Uno Solution for Injection.

Question 5

What will happen if I accidentally inject more than the prescribed dose of Nobeglar-Uno Solution for Injection?
