इंसुलिन एस्पार्ट और मेटफॉर्मिन का इंटरैक्शन

Increase frequency of glucose monitoring with changes to: insulin dosage, concomitantly administered glucose lowering medications, meal pattern, physical activity; and in patients with renal or hepatic impairments and hypoglycemia unawareness ( 5.

Risk Factors for Hypoglycemia The risk of hypoglycemia after an injection 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.

Drugs That May Increase the Risk of Hypoglycemia Drugs: Antidiabetic agents, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blocking agents, disopyramide, fibrates, fluoxetine, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, pentoxifylline, pramlintide, salicylates, somatostatin analog (e.g., octreotide), and sulfonamide antibiotics.

Drugs That May Decrease the Blood Glucose Lowering Effect of Insulin Aspart Drugs: Atypical antipsychotics (e.g., olanzapine and clozapine), corticosteroids, danazol, diuretics, estrogens, glucagon, isoniazid, niacin, oral contraceptives, phenothiazines, progestogens (e.g., in oral contraceptives), protease inhibitors, somatropin, sympathomimetic agents (e.g.,…

Drugs That May Increase or Decrease the Blood Glucose Lowering Effect of Insulin Aspart Drugs: Alcohol, beta-blockers, clonidine, and lithium salts.

Hypoglycemia with Concomitant Use with Insulin and Insulin Secretagogues : Increased risk of hypoglycemia when used in combination with insulin and/or an insulin secretagogue.

Lower dose of insulin or insulin secretagogue may be required.

Hypoglycemia with Concomitant Use with Insulin and Insulin Secretagogues Insulin and insulin secretagogues (e.g., sulfonylurea) are known to cause hypoglycemia.

Metformin Hydrochloride Extended-Release Tablets may increase the risk of hypoglycemia when combined with insulin and/or an insulin secretagogue.

Therefore, a lower dose of insulin or insulin secretagogue may be required to minimize the risk of hypoglycemia when used in combination with Metformin Hydrochloride Extended-Release Tablets [see Drug Interactions ( 7 )] .
