WHAT NOVORAPID IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
NovoRapid is a modern insulin (insulin analogue) with a rapid-acting
effect. Modern insulin products
are improved versions of human insulin.
NovoRapid is used to reduce the high blood sugar level in adults,
adolescents and children aged 1 year
and above with diabetes mellitus (diabetes). Diabetes is a disease
where your body does not produce
enough insulin to control the level of your blood sugar. Treatment
with NovoRapid helps to prevent
complications from your diabetes.
NovoRapid will start to lower your blood sugar 10–20 minutes after
you inject it, a maximum effect
occurs between 1 and 3 hours after the injection and the effect lasts
for 3–5 hours. Due to this short
action NovoRapid should normally be taken in combination with
intermediate-acting or long-acting
insulin preparations. Moreover NovoRapid can be used for continuous
infusion in a pump system.
