Insulin-Long SMK: description, application and features

Insulin-Long SMK is a long-acting insulin that is used in the treatment of diabetes. The drug is produced by Belmedpreparaty in Belarus and belongs to the pharmaceutical group of long- and extra-long-acting insulins.

The international name of Insulin-Long SMC is Insulin-DlD, and there are also several synonyms, including Insulin Superlente, Insulin Ultralente, Insulin Ultralente "VO-S", Insulin Ultralente "HO-S", Insulin Ultralente MC, Insulin-Long SMP, Insulin -Long suspension, Insulin-Ultralong SMK, Insulin-Ultralong SMP, Insulin-Ultralong suspension, Humulin Ultra.

The dosage form of Insulin-Long SMK is an injection suspension containing 40 U/ml. It is a protein hormone that is produced by the pancreas and is necessary for the absorption of glucose in the body.

Insulin-Long SMK is used to control blood glucose levels in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The drug acts for a long time (up to 24 hours), ensuring a stable level of insulin in the blood and preventing sharp fluctuations in sugar levels.

To use Insulin-Long SMK, injections must be made subcutaneously into the abdomen, thigh or buttock. The dosage of the drug depends on the individual characteristics of the patient and can be adjusted by the doctor.

It is important to note that Insulin-Long SMX is not recommended for the treatment of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) caused by stress or illness. In such cases, it is necessary to use fast-acting insulin.

Like any medicine, Insulin-Long SMK can cause side effects, including hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), allergic reactions, and lipodystrophy (changes in fat tissue at injection sites). Therefore, it is necessary to strictly follow the doctor’s recommendations and not exceed the recommended dose of the drug.

In conclusion, we can say that Insulin-Long SMK is an effective drug for controlling blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. However, its use requires strict adherence to the doctor's recommendations and constant monitoring of blood sugar levels.
