About NOVORAPID PENFILL 3 ML

How NOVORAPID PENFILL 3 ML Works
- NOVORAPID PENFILL 3 ML works by quickly lowering blood sugar levels after meals by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells.
- NOVORAPID PENFILL 3 ML works through a mechanism similar to natural insulin produced by the pancreas. After subcutaneous injection, it rapidly enters the bloodstream, mimicking the normal insulin response of the body. It binds to insulin receptors on the surface of target cells, particularly muscle and fat cells. This binding activates a cascade of intracellular signaling events that promote the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into these cells. As a result, the cells can utilize glucose as an energy source, reducing the concentration of glucose in the blood. NOVORAPID PENFILL 3 ML also suppresses the production of glucose by the liver and inhibits the release of stored glucose from the liver and fat cells. By regulating blood sugar levels, it helps prevent hyperglycemia and its associated complications.

- Dosage for Adults: The dosage of NOVORAPID PENFILL 3 ML for adults with diabetes depends on various factors including the type of diabetes, insulin sensitivity, blood sugar levels, and response to therapy.
