Active Ingredient Description
Insulin degludec

Insulin degludec binds specifically to the human insulin receptor and results in the same pharmacological effects as human insulin. The blood glucose-lowering effect of insulin is due to the facilitated uptake of glucose following the binding of insulin to receptors on muscle and fat cells and to the simultaneous inhibition of glucose output from the liver.
