What is the Tresiba 200 units/mL Pre-filled Pen (FlexTouch)?
Tresiba (insulin degludec) is a long-acting basal insulin that is administered once-daily to control blood glucose levels.
It is used to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults, adolescents and children (over the age of 1).
It is available in the form of prefilled insulin pens known also as Tresiba FlexTouch Pens.
Tresiba can be used in combination with rapid-acting insulin, oral medications for diabetes and antidiabetic medications, other than insulin.
USAGE & STORAGE
Tresiba is injected subcutaneously (under the skin) once daily, at any time of the day.
Adult patients who notice they’ve missed a dose should inject their daily-dose during waking hours then continue their regular dosing schedule.
For pediatric patients, Tresiba should be taken at the same time daily. If they miss a dose they should contact their doctor and monitor blood sugar levels closely until their next dose.
Adult patients should ensure that at least 8 hours have elapsed between consecutive injections. Dose increases should be made within 3-4 days from last injection.
It’s important to note that Tresiba contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per dose which means its essentially sodium-free.
