Safety Advice
Liver disease
Liver conditions can affect Insulin Glargine metabolism and glucose processing. Patients may need modified dosing schedules and enhanced glucose monitoring. Regular hepatic function assessment ensures treatment safety. Consult a doctor before use.
Kidney impairment
Kidney dysfunction alters Insulin Glargine clearance rates and increases Hypoglycemia susceptibility. Dose reductions might be necessary based on kidney function tests. More frequent blood sugar checks are advisable. Consult a doctor before use.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women
Basugine Pen use during pregnancy requires specialized medical oversight. Insulin Glargine requirements change throughout pregnancy stages. Nursing mothers should monitor blood glucose closely as breastfeeding affects sugar levels. Consult a doctor before use.
Avoid
Extreme temperatures damage pen mechanisms and the effectiveness of Insulin Glargine. Never leave pens in direct sunlight or freezing conditions. Avoid sharing pens to prevent infection transmission and dosing confusion.
FAQs
How do I know when my Basugine Pen is empty?
The dose dial will not turn beyond the remaining units available, and the medication window appears completely empty when viewed from the side. Replace with a new pen immediately when you cannot dial your prescribed dose amount for safe and effective treatment.
Can I reuse Basugine Pen needles?
No, never reuse needles. They become dull after a single use and significantly increase infection risk at injection sites. Fresh needles ensure comfortable, pain-free injections and maintain the accuracy of the pen mechanism. Always dispose of used needles in proper sharps containers for safety.
What should I do if my pen is dropped?
Carefully check for visible cracks, leaks, or damage before using the pen again. Test the dial mechanism by selecting and clearing a small test dose. Replace the pen immediately if it appears damaged, malfunctions, or fails to operate smoothly.
How should I dispose of used Basugine Pens?
Follow local medical waste disposal guidelines and use designated sharps containers available at pharmacies or hospitals. Never throw used pens in regular household trash due to needle safety concerns and potential medication residue that could harm others.
Can I adjust my dose without consulting my doctor?
No, dose changes require medical supervision and proper evaluation of your blood glucose patterns. Self-adjusting Insulin doses can lead to dangerous blood sugar fluctuations, severe Hypoglycemia episodes, or inadequate glucose control, requiring immediate medical intervention.
