What this medicine is for
Pharmacologically, this molecule belongs to the “insulin (injectable antidiabetic)” category. Injectable insulin replaces or supplements the hormone that the body no longer produces in sufficient amount, to keep blood sugar in a safe range.
In practice: Controls blood sugar in diabetes. It is generally taken over the long term, with regular follow-up, and it is not stopped on one’s own initiative.
