The insulin detemir (rys), or "Levemir®",in Levemir® Penfill® is a long-acting insulin used to treat diabetes mellitus. It may be used in combination
with oral antidiabetic medicines (diabetes tablets) or as add-on therapy to liraglutide
(Victoza®), which is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. Levemir® can also be used with a meal-related short- or rapid-acting insulin such as NovoRapid®.
Diabetes mellitus is a condition where your pancreas does not produce enough insulin
to control your blood sugar (glucose) level. Extra insulin is therefore needed.
There are two types of diabetes mellitus:
Type 1 diabetes - also called juvenile onset diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes - also called maturity onset diabetes.
Patients with type 1 diabetes always require insulin to control their blood sugar
levels.
Some patients with type 2 diabetes may also require insulin after initial treatment
with diet, exercise and tablets.
Levemir® lowers your blood sugar level after injection. The effect may last for up to 24 hours.
As with all insulins, the duration of action will vary according to the dose, injection
site, blood flow, temperature and level of physical activity.
Penfill® is a pre-filled 3mL glass cartridge designed to be used with Novo Nordisk insulin
delivery devices (such as NovoPen®).
This medicine is not addictive.
Levemir® Penfill® is available only with a doctor’s prescription.
Ask your doctor, diabetes education nurse or pharmacist if you have any questions
about why this medicine has been prescribed for you.
