Exubera (insulin human [rDNA origin]) Inhalation powder is
the first diabetes treatment which can be inhaled to manage the
blood sugars.
Exubera works like the body’s natural insulin and
is used by adults who have Type 1 (insulin dependent) or Type 2
(non-insulin dependent) diabetes. We can inhale Exubra through
the mouth 10 minutes before eating a meal and then the lungs
absorb the medicine into the blood, thereby enabling you to keep
your blood sugar levels under good control. It has been
clinically proven to work as good as the injected mealtime
insulin.
For some people, Exubera can be used directly, where it
works alone. For others, it may be used as a part of treatment
plan suggested by a health care professional that includes
diabetes pills or long acting injected insulin. Patients with
Type 1 diabetes will need to take some long-acting injected
insulin in addition to Exubera. Patients with Type 2 diabetes
who take diabetes pills may face some trouble controlling their
blood sugar levels. Studies have shown that taking Exubera may
help diabetes patients, as it is proved that taking
Exubra with
diabetes pills may give patients better blood sugar control than
diabetes pills alone.
