Mypart Mix is a mixture of Insulin Aspart and Insulin Aspart Protamine indicated to improve glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus.
Insulin Aspart & Insulin Aspart Protamine is a human insulin analog suspension containing 30% Insulin Aspart & 70% Insulin Aspart Protamine used to lower blood glucose. Insulin Aspart is homologous with regular human insulin with the exception of a single substitution of the Amino Acid Proline by Aspartic Acid in position B28, and is produced by recombinant DNA technology utilizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast). The primary activity of insulin, including Insulin Aspart is the regulation of glucose metabolism. Insulin, and its analogs lower blood glucose by stimulating peripheral glucose uptake, especially by skeletal muscle and fat, and by inhibiting hepatic glucose production. Insulin inhibits lipolysis and proteolysis, and enhances protein synthesis.
This insulin is typically dosed twice daily (with each dose intended to cover 2 meals or a meal and a snack). Individualize and adjust the dosage based on the individual's metabolic needs, blood glucose monitoring results and glycemic control goal. Dosage adjustments may be needed with changes in physical activity, changes in meal patterns, changes in renal or hepatic function or during acute illness. Dosage adjustment may be needed when switching from another insulin to this insulin. Or, as directed by the registered physician. Blood glucose should be monitored in all patients treated with insulin. Insulin regimens should be modified cautiously and only under medical supervision. Renal and Hepatic Impairment: Reduction the dose may require in these cases.
Always consult a registered doctor before taking any medicine. This information is for general knowledge only.
Most common side effects are hypoglycemia, hypersensitivity and allergic reactions, hypokalemia, injection site reaction, lipodystrophy, pruritus and rash.
Insulin Aspart is contraindicated during episodes of hypoglycemia, in patients with hypersensitivity to this drug or one of its excipients.
A number of drugs affect glucose metabolism and may require dose adjustment. The following substances may reduce the insulin requirements: anti-diabetic agents, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blocking agents, disopyramide, fibrates, fluoxetine, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, pentoxifylline, pramlintide, propoxyphene, salicylates, somatostatin analog and sulfonamide antibiotics. The following substances may increase the insulin requirements: atypical antipsychotics, corticosteroids, danazol, diuretics, estrogen, glucagon, isoniazid, niacin, oral contraceptives, phenothiazine, progestogens, preotease inhibitors, somatropin, sympathomimetic agents and thyroid hormones. Beta-blockers, clonidine, lithium salts, alcohol and pentamidine may either potentiate or weaken the blood glucose lowering effect of insulin. Beta-blockers, clonidine, guanethidine and reserpine may blunt the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia.
