About Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Penfill 3 ml
Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Penfill 3 ml belongs to the class of medications called ‘antidiabetics’ primarily used for the treatment of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It maintains blood sugar levels in adults and children. In Diabetes Mellitus Type 1, the body does not produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. On the other hand, in Diabetes Mellitus type 2, either the body stops producing enough insulin (a hormone that helps lower blood sugar levels), or there is resistance to insulin action. As a result, insulin is produced in large quantities, but it is not capable of operating on the body's organs.
Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Penfill 3 ml is a combination of two drugs, namely, Insulin Aspart and Insulin Degludec. Insulin aspart is a fast-acting or short-acting form of insulin that helps lower blood sugar levels after food intake. Insulin degludec is a long-acting form of insulin which begins working after 60 minutes and is a long-acting insulin preparation (lasts for more than 24 hours). Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Penfill 3 ml stimulates the recovery of sugar in muscle and fat cells and suppresses sugar production in the liver. Together, Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Penfill 3 ml confirm rapid and stable sugar control by helping reuptake of sugar in fat cells and muscle, and suppressing the creation of sugar in the liver.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Type 1 diabetes mellitus: In type 1 diabetes mellitus, our body does not make insulin (the hormone which helps to decrease sugar levels in the blood) to control blood sugar levels.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus: In type 2 diabetes mellitus, either the body stops producing enough insulin, or there is resistance to the action of insulin. As a result, insulin is produced in sufficient amounts but is unable to act on the tissues of the organs.
