Tresiba U200 FlexTouch Prefilled Pen is a long-acting insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults and children who are 1 year of age and older with diabetes. It contains insulin degludec, which is designed to provide a steady release of insulin over a 24-hour period to help manage blood sugar levels. The U200 formulation means it holds 200 units of insulin per ml, offering a higher concentration than the U100 formulation. This allows for administration of larger doses of insulin with less injection volume.

How is this medication used?

Before using Tresiba U200 FlexTouch Prefilled Pen, read the patient information leaflet provided by your pharmacist. Use this medication once daily at any time of day but try to inject at the same time each day. To ensure proper use, follow the instructions provided for preparing and administering the dose. Do not administer the insulin into a vein or muscle. Rotate injection sites within the same region to reduce the risk of lipodystrophy. This medication should not be diluted or mixed with any other insulin or solution.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects include low blood sugar, allergic reactions at the injection site (such as redness, itching, or swelling), headache, and weight gain. Severe low blood sugar can be dangerous and lead to unconsciousness, seizures, and even death. Ensure you are aware of how to recognize low blood sugar episodes and how to treat them. Consult your health care provider if you experience any major or persistent side effects.

What are the potential interactions?

Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you take, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal products. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval. Tresiba U200 can interact with other diabetes medications, corticosteroids, thyroid hormones, drugs that increase blood sugar (such as some psychotropic medications), beta-blockers, and alcohol.
