insulin aspart<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fiasp is mealtime insulin with fast-acting blood sugar lowering effect. Fiasp is an injection solution containing insulin aspart and is used to treat diabetes mellitus in adults, adolescents, and children from 1 year of age. Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce enough insulin to keep blood sugar levels under control. Treatment with Fiasp helps prevent complications of diabetes.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fiasp should be injected shortly (0 to 2 minutes) before the start of the meal, with the option of injecting up to 20 minutes after the start of the meal.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This medicine has a maximum effect between 1 and 3 hours after injection one, and the effect lasts for 3 to 5 hours.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This medicine should normally be used in combination with medium-acting or long-acting insulin preparations.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This medicine can also be used for continuous infusion with a pump system.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before using Fiasp. Pay special attention to the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some conditions and activities can affect how much insulin you need. Talk to a doctor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When using Fiasp, it is strongly recommended that the name of the medicinal product and the batch number of each package be documented to maintain a register of used batch numbers.
<\/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. skin thickening, skin shrinkage, or lumps under the skin, you should always change the injection site. It may be that insulin et not work as well if you inject in an area with nodules or in a thickened or shriveled area (see “How to use Fiasp”). Contact 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. Your doctor may advise you to check your blood sugar more often and to adjust your insulin dose or the dose of other diabetes medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This medicine is not recommended for children under 1 year of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. Some medicines affect your blood sugar level and you may need to change your insulin dose. Below is a list of the most common medicines that can affect your insulin therapy. Your blood sugar level may drop (hypoglycemia) if you take:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Your blood sugar level may rise (hyperglycemia) if you take:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Octreotide and lanreotide<\/em> – used to treat a rare disease with the overproduction of growth hormone ( acromegaly ). These can either raise or lower your blood sugar level. Pioglitazone<\/em> – diabetes drug (tablets) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Some patients who have had type 2 diabetes and heart disease for many years or patients who have previously had a stroke have developed heart failure during treatment with pioglitazone and insulin. Tell your doctor immediately if you get signs of heart failure such as unexpected shortness of breath, rapid weight gain, or local swelling ( edema ). If any of the above apply to you (or you are not sure), talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you drink alcohol, your insulin needs may change, as your blood sugar level may rise or fall. You should therefore check your blood sugar level more often than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine. This medicine can be used during pregnancy but your insulin dose may need to be changed during pregnancy and after delivery. Careful monitoring of your diabetes during pregnancy is needed. Avoiding low blood sugar ( hypoglycemia ) is especially important for your baby’s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are no restrictions on treatment with Fiasp during breast-feeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Low blood sugar can affect your ability to drive or use tools or machines. Low blood sugar can affect your ability to concentrate and react. It can be dangerous for yourself and others. Ask your doctor if it is appropriate for you to drive if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Important information about some of the ingredients of Fiasp<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per dose.

Consult a physician regarding these situations. This medicine has a maximum effect between 1 and 3 hours after injection one, and the effect lasts for 3 to 5 hours. Dos Fiasp<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dose for type 1 and type 2 diabetes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Doctors will decide with you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to change your diet, consult a doctor, pharmacist, or nurse first, as changing your diet may change your need for insulin. When using other medicines, ask your doctor if your treatment needs to be adjusted. Dose adjustment for type 2 diabetes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The daily dose should be based on the blood sugar levels at meals and bedtime the previous day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use in elderly patients (65 years or older)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This medicine can be used by elderly patients. Talk to your doctor about changes in your dose.

Talk to your doctor about changes in your dose. How to inject Fiasp<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This medicine is for injection under the skin ( subcutaneous injection ) or continuous infusion with a pump. The use of the pump requires thorough instructions from healthcare professionals. Where you inject<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not use Fiasp<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n How to inject Fiasp<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before using Fiasp for the first time, your doctor or nurse will show you how to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Check the name and strength of the vial label to make sure it is Fiasp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Remove the protective cap from the vial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Always use a new injection needle for each injection to avoid contamination. Needles and syringes must not be shared with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Inject the same amount of air into the syringe as the dose of insulin you are to inject. Inject this air into the vial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Turn the vial and syringe upside down, and draw the correct dose of insulin into the syringe. Pull the needle out of the vial. Squeeze the air out of the syringe and check that the dose is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inject insulin under the skin. Use the injection technique shown to you by your doctor or nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. Discard the injection needle after each injection. For use in an infusion pump system<\/strong> Follow your doctor’s instructions and recommendations on how to use Fiasp in a pump. Before using Fiasp in the pump system, you must have received comprehensive instructions for use as well as information on what to do if you become ill, have high or low blood sugar, or if the pump system breaks down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Filling the pump<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To take advantage of the insulin infusion, and to detect any malfunction of the insulin pump, it is recommended that you measure your blood sugar level regularly. What to do if the pump system malfunctions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You must always have an alternative method is available for the injection of insulin under the skin (such as a pen or syringes), should there be a failure of the pump system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you use too much insulin, your blood sugar may become too low (hypoglycemia). See the advice in section 4 under “Low blood sugar”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you forget to use insulin, your blood sugar level may become too high (hyperglycemia). See section 4 under “High blood sugar”. Three simple steps that can help avoid too low or high blood sugar are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not stop taking insulin without talking to a doctor first. If you stop using insulin, it can lead to very high blood sugar (severe hyperglycemia) and ketoacidosis (a condition with too high acidity in the blood that can be potentially life-threatening). See symptoms and advice in section 4 under “High blood sugar”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)<\/strong> is very common with insulin therapy (may affect more than 1 user in 10). It can be very serious. If your blood sugar level drops too much, you may become unconscious. Severe hypoglycemia can cause brain damage and be life-threatening. If you have low blood sugar symptoms, get your blood sugar level raised immediately<\/strong>. See the advice below under “Low blood sugar”. If you get a severe allergic reaction<\/strong> to insulin or any of the other ingredients of Fiasp, stop using this medicine and contact your healthcare provider immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Signs of a severe allergic reaction may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Allergic reactions <\/strong>such as rash over large areas of the body and swelling of the face may occur. These are less common and may affect up to 1 in 100 people. Contact a doctor if the symptoms get worse or if you do not see any improvement within a few weeks. 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<\/em> affect up to 1 in 100 people<\/em> ). 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). It may be that insulin et not work as well if you inject in an area with nodules or in a thickened or shriveled area. Change the injection site for each injection to prevent these skin changes. Other side effects include:<\/strong> Common <\/strong>(may affect up to 1 in 10 people)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The reaction<\/b> at the site of administration:<\/strong> There may be local reactions at the site of injection. These can include the following symptoms: skin rash, redness, inflammation, bruising, irritation, pain, and itching. The reactions usually disappear after a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skin reactions:<\/strong> Signs of allergy to the skin, such as eczema, rash, itching, hives, and dermatitis may occur. General effects of insulin therapy including Fiasp<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can get low blood sugar if you:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Drink alcohol, use too much insulin, exercise more than usual, eat too little or skip a meal. Warning signals for low blood sugar – these can come on suddenly:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is what you do if you have low blood sugar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is what others should do if you lose consciousness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell everyone you hang out with that you have diabetes. Tell them what can happen if your blood sugar gets too low, for example, that you may lose consciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can regain consciousness faster if you receive a glucagon injection. Such an injection should only be given by a person who knows how to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If severe low blood sugar is not treated, it can eventually cause brain damage. These can be short-term or long-term. Low blood sugar can even cause death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Talk to a doctor about:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Does one of the times of your insulin injections, your meals, or exercise habits may need to be changed. You can get high blood sugar if you:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Eat more or exercise less than usual, drink alcohol, get infection or fever, have not used enough insulin, regularly use too little insulin, forget to use your insulin, or stop using insulin. Warning signals for high blood sugar – these usually occur gradually:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n These signs may indicate a very serious condition called ketoacidosis. This means too much acidity in the blood because the body breaks down fat instead of sugar. If left untreated, it can lead to diabetic coma and eventually death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is what you do if you get high blood sugar<\/strong><\/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 after EXP. The expiration date is the last day of the specified month. Before first use:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Store in a refrigerator (2 \u00b0 C – 8 \u00b0 C). Do not freeze. Do not store near the heat sink.
