FAQs
Is Lyxumia 20 Solution for Injection the same as insulin?
No, Lyxumia 20 Solution for Injection is not the same as insulin. Lyxumia 20 Solution for Injection is a synthetic version of exendin-4 (a hormone). It attaches itself to beta-cells in the pancreas and releases insulin. This increased insulin helps to control blood sugar levels in patients with type II diabetes.
Does Lyxumia 20 Solution for Injection cause hypoglycemia?
Lyxumia 20 Solution for Injection itself does not cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). However, it may cause low blood sugar when taken with other antidiabetic medicines or insulin.
Is Lyxumia 20 Solution for Injection safe?
Lyxumia 20 Solution for Injection is safe if used at prescribed doses for the prescribed duration as advised by your doctor.
Does Lyxumia 20 Solution for Injection cause pancreatitis?
Yes, Lyxumia 20 Solution for Injection may cause pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) in a few people. However, this is very rare and is one of the most serious side effects of Lyxumia 20 Solution for Injection. This can happen any time during the course of treatment and can lead to hospitalization or even death. Consult your doctor immediately if you notice severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or inability to eat as these side effects may be signs and symptoms of pancreatitis.
How is Lyxumia 20 Solution for Injection administered?
Lyxumia 20 Solution for Injection is injected just under the skin (subcutaneously) twice daily, usually in the thigh, abdomen (stomach) or upper arm. Your doctor or nurse will show you how and where to inject the medicine. The dose will depend on your condition and what other diabetes medicines you are taking. It is to be used 60 minutes before the morning and evening meal (or two main meals of the day). Use Lyxumia 20 Solution for Injection as prescribed by the doctor and follow the instructions carefully.
