FAQs

EXAPRIDE 250MCG STORTER KIT 1.2ML contains Exenatide which increases the insulin release from the pancreas after meals when your body has high blood glucose levels. Thus, EXAPRIDE 250MCG STORTER KIT 1.2ML helps lower blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
EXAPRIDE 250MCG STORTER KIT 1.2ML may cause low blood sugar levels (hypoglycaemia), making you hungry, dizzy, irritable, confused, anxious, or shaky. To immediately treat hypoglycaemia, eating or drinking fast-acting sugar sources like fruit juices, hard candy, raisins, or non-diet soda is advised.
Please consult your doctor. EXAPRIDE 250MCG STORTER KIT 1.2ML is used as an adjunct to diet and exercise in type 2 diabetes. Your doctor may prescribe other anti-diabetic medicine along with EXAPRIDE 250MCG STORTER KIT 1.2ML if necessary based on your condition.
Exenatide may reduce the appetite, the amount of food being consumed, and weight. If you lose weight too quickly (i.e., more than 1.5 kg per week), talk to your doctor about it since this may lead to problems like gallstones.

About EXAPRIDE 250MCG STORTER KIT 1.2ML

EXAPRIDE 250MCG STORTER KIT 1.2ML belongs to the class of 'anti-diabetic medicines' primarily used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (non-insulin-dependent diabetes). It is used as an adjunct to diet. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar levels. It occurs when the insulin (a hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas) is resistant to breaking down the glucose to produce energy (insulin resistance) or when the pancreas (an organ behind the stomach) produces little or no insulin at all.

EXAPRIDE 250MCG STORTER KIT 1.2ML contains Exenatide that belongs to the class of 'incretin mimetics'. Exenatide works by increasing insulin release from the pancreas during high blood sugar levels (after meals) and decreasing the amount of sugar the liver makes. 

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on your medical condition. Some common side effects of EXAPRIDE 250MCG STORTER KIT 1.2ML include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, dizziness, nervousness/feeling jittery, upset stomach, constipation, and injection site reactions like pain/swelling/itching.
