Product introduction
Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Flextouch is a combination of two medicines, a long-acting and a rapid-acting type of insulin, used to treat types 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus in both adults and children. It provides a steady level of insulin in the body for an entire day and helps control blood sugar levels.
Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Flextouch can be prescribed by itself or along with other diabetes medicines. Your doctor or nurse will teach you how to inject it under the skin correctly. You should use this medicine regularly as per the dose advised to get the most benefit. It is usually taken once daily at the same time every day. However, when administration at the same time of the day is not possible, it may be taken at a different time. Always ensure that there is a minimum gap of 8 hours between doses.
If you stop taking it, your blood sugar levels may rise very high and put you at risk of serious complications. It is only part of a treatment program that should include a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight reduction, as your doctor advises.
This medicine’s most common side effect is low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). To prevent this, it is important always to inject the correct dose of medicine only, have regular meals, and monitor your blood sugar levels regularly. Drinking excessive alcohol can also lead to a fall in your blood sugar levels. Other common side effects include allergic reactions, injection site reactions, lipodystrophy, itching, rash, edema, and weight gain.
Do not use this medicine when you have low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). Tell your doctor if you have ever had kidney, liver, or heart problems before starting treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before using it.

Benefits of Ryzodeg Solution for Injection
In Treatment of Diabetes
Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Flextouch combines long-acting insulin degludec and rapid-acting insulin aspart to provide flexible and convenient blood sugar control in patients with diabetes. The long-acting component helps maintain steady insulin levels throughout the day and night, while the rapid-acting insulin manages blood sugar spikes after meals. This reduces the number of injections needed, improves glycemic control, and helps lower the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), especially at night, making it a highly effective option for people with diabetes.
