NovoRapid is modern\u00a0insulin\u00a0(insulin analog) that is fast-acting.\u00a0Modern\u00a0insulins\u00a0are improved versions of human\u00a0insulin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NovoRapid is used for lowering high blood sugar in adults, adolescents, and children 1 year of age or older with\u00a0diabetes\u00a0(\u00a0diabetes mellitus\u00a0).\u00a0Diabetes\u00a0is a disease in which your body does not produce enough\u00a0insulin\u00a0to keep your blood sugar levels under control.\u00a0Treatment with NovoRapid helps prevent complications of your\u00a0diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NovoRapid PumpCart is intended for use in pump systems and covers your entire daily insulin needs: both the need for basic insulin throughout the day and bolus doses at meals. Before using the NovoRapid PumpCart in the pump system, you must have received comprehensive instructions from your doctor or nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Need for basic insulin (all day long):<\/strong> When you use NovoRapid PumpCart in a pump system, your insulin will be injected continuously and cover your need for basic insulin. If you change the basal insulin settings, the change will affect you within 10-20 minutes. If you stop the pump, the effect of the insulin will be for 3-5 hours. Before setting or changing dose one, read the instructions for use for the pump carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Need for mealtime insulin ( bolus doses ):<\/strong> NovoRapid starts lowering your blood sugar within 10 to 20 minutes after starting a bolus dose in the system (see section 3, How to use NovoRapid PumpCart, for more information on adjusting your bolus dose ). The effect is strongest between 1-3 hours after bolus dose one and lasts for 3-5 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If any of these apply, do not use NovoRapid PumpCart.\u00a0Talk to a doctor, nurse, or pharmacist for advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before using NovoRapid PumpCart<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Certain conditions and activities may affect your need for\u00a0insulin.\u00a0Consult a doctor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skin changes at the injection site<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To help prevent changes in the adipose tissue under the skin, e.g.\u00a0skin thickening, skin shrinkage, or lumps under the skin, you should always change the injection site.\u00a0Insulin may not work as well if you inject in a knotted area or a thickened or shrunken area (see “How to use NovoRapid PumpCart”).\u00a0Contact your doctor if you notice skin changes at the injection site and before changing the injection site if you are currently injecting in an affected area.\u00a0Your doctor may advise you to check your blood sugar more often and to adjust your insulin dose or the\u00a0dose\u00a0of other diabetes medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not give this medicine to children under 1 year of age as no clinical studies have been performed in children under 1 year of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some medicines affect your blood sugar level and this may mean that your insulin dose needs to be changed. Below is a list of the most common medicines that may affect your insulin treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your blood sugar level may drop (hypoglycemia) if you take:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your blood sugar level may rise (hyperglycemia) if you take:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Octreotide and lanreotide (for the treatment of\u00a0acromegaly, an unusual hormonal disorder with\u00a0pituitary\u00a0overproduction one of\u00a0the growth hormone\u00a0usually in middle-aged adults) can either raise or lower your blood sugar level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beta-blockers\u00a0(for the treatment of high\u00a0blood pressure\u00a0) may weaken or eliminate the first warning signs of low blood sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pioglitazone (tablets for the treatment of type 2 diabetes )<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Some patients who have had type 2\u00a0diabetes\u00a0and heart disease for many years or previous\u00a0strokes\u00a0developed\u00a0heart failure\u00a0during treatment with pioglitazone and\u00a0insulin.\u00a0Tell your doctor as soon as possible if you get signs of\u00a0heart failure\u00a0such as unexpected shortness of breath, rapid weight gain, or local swelling (\u00a0edema\u00a0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have taken any of these medicines, talk to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you drink alcohol, your need for insulin may change, as your blood sugar level may either rise or fall. Careful blood glucose monitoring is recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ask your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine during pregnancy or breastfeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ask your doctor if you can drive or use machines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your blood sugar is low or high, then your ability to concentrate and react can be affected, and therefore also your ability to drive a vehicle or use machines.\u00a0Remember that you can\u00a0put\u00a0yourself and others at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NovoRapid contains less than 1 mmol\u00a0sodium\u00a0(23 mg) per\u00a0dose, ie NovoRapid is essential ‘sodium-free’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dose and when you take your insulin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Always use your\u00a0insulin\u00a0and adjust your base (all day) and\u00a0bolus\u00a0(meal)\u00a0dose\u00a0exactly as your doctor advised.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.\u00a0Your\u00a0bolus\u00a0(meal)\u00a0insulin\u00a0needs to be adjusted based on your blood sugar level and meal intake.\u00a0Eat a meal or snack within 10 minutes of\u00a0bolus dose\u00a0one to avoid low blood sugar.\u00a0If necessary, you can take a\u00a0bolus dose\u00a0just after you stop eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Only change insulin preparations on the advice of a doctor. If your doctor has switched you from one type of insulin or brand of insulin to another, your dose may need to be adjusted by your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NovoRapid can be used in adolescents and children aged 1 year or older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use for special patient groups<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have impaired kidney or liver function or if you are over 65, you need to check your blood sugar more regularly and discuss changes in your insulin dose with your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How and where to inject<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n NovoRapid PumpCart should only be injected under the skin ( subcutaneously ) with a pump system. Never inject directly into a vein ( intravenously ) or muscle ( intramuscularly ). Talk to your doctor if you need to inject your insulin using another method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before using the NovoRapid PumpCart in an insulin pump, you must be given detailed instructions on how to use the pump and information on what to do if you become ill, have high or low blood sugar, or if the pump stops working.\u00a0Follow your doctor’s instructions and advice on how to use NovoRapid PumpCart in your insulin pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Normally you inject your insulin on the front of your waist. Alternatively, if your doctor recommends it, you can use your thigh or upper arm. When changing the infusion set (tubing and injection needle), be sure to change the injection site for the needle. This may reduce the risk of developing lumps or pits in the skin (see section 4, Possible side effects ). The infusion set should be replaced according to the instructions in the instructions for use that come with the infusion set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When using an insulin pump<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To get the most out of your insulin infusion and to make sure that the pump is working properly, it is a good idea to check your blood sugar level regularly. Contact a doctor if you experience any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carefully read the NovoRapid PumpCart manual in this leaflet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What to do if the pump stops working<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure you have an alternative method available to inject your insulin under the skin (such as a pen ) should your pump stop working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you take too much\u00a0insulin, your blood sugar may become too low (hypoglycemia).\u00a0See a) Summary of serious and very common\u00a0side effects\u00a0in section 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you forget to take your\u00a0insulin, your blood sugar may become too high (hyperglycemia).\u00a0See c)\u00a0Diabetes Disorders\u00a0in Section 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not stop insulin treatment without talking to a doctor, who will tell you what needs to be done.\u00a0It can lead to very high blood sugar (severe\u00a0hyperglycemia) and\u00a0ketoacidosis.\u00a0See c)\u00a0Diabetes Disorders\u00a0in Section 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all medicines, this medicine can cause\u00a0side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n a) Summary of serious and very common side effects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Low blood sugar (\u00a0hypoglycemia\u00a0)<\/strong>\u00a0is a very common\u00a0side effect.\u00a0It can occur in more than 1 in 10 users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Low blood sugar can occur if you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Signs of low blood sugar: Cold sweats; cool and pale skin; headache; palpitation; nausea; strong hunger; temporary vision changes; drowsiness; unusual fatigue and weakness; anxiety or trembling; feelings of anxiety; confusion; concentration difficulties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Very low blood sugar can lead to unconsciousness. If left untreated for a very long time, very low blood sugar can cause brain damage (temporary or permanent) and even death. You can regain consciousness faster if you receive an injection of the hormone et glucagon from someone who knows how to use it. If you are given glucagon, you will need glucose or a sugar-containing snack as soon as you regain consciousness. If you do not respond to glucagon therapy, you will need to be treated in hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What to do if you get low blood sugar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell them that you have\u00a0diabetes\u00a0for people who need to know it, what the consequences can be, and also the risk of becoming unconscious due to low blood sugar.\u00a0Tell them that if you become unconscious, they should put you on the side and get medical attention immediately.\u00a0They must not give you anything to eat or drink as there is a risk that you will suffocate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Severe allergic reactions<\/strong>\u00a0to NovoRapid or any of the other ingredients (so-called systemic\u00a0allergic reaction\u00a0) are very rare but can be life-threatening.\u00a0It may affect less than 1 in 10,000 users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact a doctor immediately:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you experience any of these, seek medical attention immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skin changes at the injection site:<\/strong> If you inject insulin at the same site, the adipose tissue may either shrink (lipoatrophy) or thicken (lipohypertrophy) (may affect up to 1 in 100 people). Nodules under the skin can also be caused by the accumulation of a protein called amyloid ( cutaneous amyloidosis. How often this occurs is not known). Insulin may not work as well if you inject in an area with lumps or in a thickened or shrunken area. Change the injection site for each injection to prevent these skin changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n b) List of other side effects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Uncommon side effects are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n May affect less than 1 in 100 users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Signs of allergy:<\/strong>\u00a0Local allergic reactions (pain,\u00a0redness,\u00a0hives,\u00a0inflammation, bruising, swelling, and\u00a0itching\u00a0) may occur at the injection site.\u00a0These symptoms usually go away after taking your\u00a0insulin\u00a0for a few weeks.\u00a0If they do not disappear or spread throughout the body, talk to a doctor immediately.\u00a0See also Severe allergic reactions above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vision problems:<\/strong> At the beginning of insulin treatment, visual disturbances may occur, but these are usually temporary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Swollen joints:<\/strong>\u00a0When you start taking\u00a0insulin, your body may bind water, causing you to swell around the ankles and other joints.\u00a0This usually goes away soon, otherwise, you should talk to a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Diabetic\u00a0retinopathy<\/strong>\u00a0(an eye disease associated with\u00a0diabetes\u00a0and can lead to vision loss): If you have diabetic\u00a0retinopathy, it can worsen if your blood sugar level improves very quickly.\u00a0Ask your doctor about this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rare side effects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n May affect less than 1 in 1,000 users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Painful neuropathy<\/strong> (pain due to nerve damage): If your blood sugar level improves very quickly, you may get nerve-related pain. This is called acute painful neuropathy and is usually transient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n c) Problems with diabetes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n High blood sugar (hyperglycemia)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n High blood sugar can occur if you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n High blood sugar warning signs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The warning signals appear gradually. They manifest as: increased urine output; thirst; loss of appetite; feeling sick (nausea or vomiting); drowsiness or fatigue; redness; dry skin; dry mouth and a breath that smells of fruit (acetone).<\/p>\n\n\n\n What should I do if I get high blood sugar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep this medicine out of the sight and reach of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not use this medicine after the expiry date which is stated on the label and carton of the cartridge after EXP.
