Inhalable insulin

Inhalable Insulin is a form of insulin that is inhaled through the mouth into the lungs. It is used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes mellitus.

Overview

Mechanism of Action

Inhalable Insulin works by mimicking the natural process of insulin regulation in the body. When inhaled, the insulin is absorbed into the bloodstream from the lungs and begins to work to lower blood sugar levels.

Usage

Inhalable Insulin is used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes mellitus. It is typically used in combination with a long-acting insulin or other diabetes medications.

Side Effects

Possible side effects of Inhalable Insulin include low blood sugar, cough, throat pain or irritation, and shortness of breath.

Precautions

Before using Inhalable Insulin, patients should discuss their medical history with their healthcare provider, especially if they have lung disease, smoking history, or if they are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
