एक्सेनाटाइड और रेगुलर इंसुलिन (ह्यूमन) का इंटरैक्शन

• Hypoglycemia with Concomitant Use of Insulin Secretagogues or Insulin: Patients taking an insulin secretagogue or insulin may have an increased risk of hypoglycemia, including severe hypoglycemia.

Reduction in the dose of insulin secretagogues or insulin may be necessary.

If there is worsening glycemic control or failure to achieve target glycemic control, consider alternative antidiabetic therapy.

Hypoglycemia with Concomitant Use of Insulin Secretagogues or Insulin Patients receiving BYETTA in combination with an insulin secretagogue (e.g., sulfonylurea) or insulin may have an increased risk of hypoglycemia including severe hypoglycemia [see Adverse Reactions (6) and Drug Interactions (7) ] .

The risk of hypoglycemia may be lowered by a reduction in the dose of sulfonylurea (or other concomitantly administered insulin secretagogue) or insulin.

For patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, oral antidiabetic treatment dosage modifications may be needed.

For patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, dosage modifications of concomitant oral antidiabetic treatment may be needed [see Drug Interactions ( 7 )] .

Risk Factors and Mitigation Strategies for Hypoglycemia The risk of hypoglycemia after use of AFREZZA is related to the duration of action of the insulin and, in general, is highest when the glucose lowering effect of the insulin is maximal [See Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

Dosage Modifications for Drug Interactions Dosage modification may be needed when: AFREZZA is used concomitantly with certain drugs that increase and/or decrease the glucose lowering effect [see Drug Interactions ( 7 )].

Clinically Significant Drug Interactions with AFREZZA Antidiabetic agents, Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors, Angiotensin II Receptor Blocking Agents, Disopyramide, Fibrates, Fluoxetine, Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors, Pentoxifylline, Pramlintide, Salicylates, Somatostatin Analogs (e.g., octreotide), and Sulfonamide Antibiotics Prevention or Management Monitor…
