Uses

Basagine Pen 100IU/ml is used for:

• Type 1 diabetes in adults and children aged 2 and above
• Type 2 diabetes when tablets alone are not enough

Dosage

It is injected once daily at the same time every day. The dose is individual; people with type 2 diabetes often start at 10 units (or 0.2 units/kg) daily, and the dose is adjusted based on fasting blood sugar.

How to Use

Inject under the skin of the stomach, thigh or upper arm once daily at the same time. Do not mix with other insulins and do not inject into a vein. Change the injection site each time.

Missed Dose

Do not double the next dose. Check your blood sugar and follow the plan your doctor gave you for missed doses.

Overdose

Too much insulin causes low blood sugar. Take glucose, sugar or a sweet drink immediately, then eat; seek emergency help if the person is drowsy or unconscious.

When Not to Use

• Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) at the time of injection
• Allergy to the insulin or any ingredient

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia)
• Redness, swelling or itching at the injection site
• Fat changes under the skin if the same site is used repeatedly
• Weight gain

Seek urgent help for severe low blood sugar (confusion, fits, fainting) or a widespread allergic reaction.

Precautions & Warnings

• Learn the signs of low blood sugar and always carry glucose or sweets
• Check your blood sugar regularly and keep a record
• Never share pens or needles, even if the needle is changed
• Illness, exercise, missed meals and alcohol affect insulin needs

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Insulin is the preferred diabetes treatment in pregnancy. Doses usually change during pregnancy and after delivery, so close monitoring is needed. It is suitable during breastfeeding.

Drug Interactions

• Other diabetes medicines increase low-sugar risk
• Beta blockers can hide signs of low blood sugar
• Steroids, thiazide diuretics and some antipsychotics can raise blood sugar
• Alcohol can cause low blood sugar

Storage Instructions

Store unopened insulin in a refrigerator (2–8°C); do not freeze. Once opened, keep it below 25–30°C for up to 28 days, away from direct heat and light. Do not use if frozen.
