Medical Description

Afrezza inhalation kit is used with diet and exercise to help control blood sugar in diabetes. It contains human insulin, a hormone that helps move glucose from the blood into cells for energy. The insulin also reduces the amount of glucose released by the liver. Afrezza powder is breathed through the supplied inhaler around meals under diabetes specialist guidance, and it is not suitable for people with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or current or recent smoking exposure.

Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Pregnancy

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or trying to conceive. Available information does not show harmful effects, but human experience is limited and your insulin plan may need specialist review.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding. Available information suggests that human insulin does not pass into breast milk in clinically significant amounts, but your treatment plan should still be reviewed.

Driving

Driving

Low or high blood sugar can impair concentration and driving. Check your blood sugar as advised and do not drive if you feel confused, weak, dizzy or unwell.

Alcohol

Alcohol

Alcohol can increase the risk of low blood sugar and may delay recognition of its warning signs. Ask your doctor before drinking.

Directions for Use

Use Afrezza inhalation kit through the supplied inhaler exactly as taught by your doctor or diabetes educator. Breathe the powder through the inhaler and do not use another inhaler for it. Check your blood sugar as advised and follow the meal-related instructions given by your healthcare team.

Storage and disposal

Store Afrezza inhalation kit as directed on the pack, protected from heat and moisture. Keep unused cartridges in their original packaging and keep the inhaler and cartridges out of the reach of children. Dispose of used cartridges according to local guidance.

Quick Tips

  • Learn the warning signs of low blood sugar and keep a fast source of sugar available if your doctor advises it.
  • Check blood sugar as directed and record unusual readings.
  • Do not smoke or use Afrezza if your doctor has advised against it.
  • Do not share the inhaler or cartridges.
  • Tell your doctor about cough, breathing difficulty, repeated low blood sugar or swelling.

Dosage

Overdose

Too much insulin can cause low blood sugar with sweating, shaking, hunger, fast heartbeat, confusion or loss of consciousness. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it is time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Human insulin replaces or supplements insulin that the body needs. It helps body cells take up glucose from the blood and reduces the amount of glucose released by the liver. This lowers blood sugar after food and during the rest of the treatment period.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Afrezza inhalation kit works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. In particular, other medicines that lower blood sugar may increase low blood sugar, corticosteroids may raise blood sugar, and beta blockers may hide warning signs of low blood sugar.

Interactions with food items

Alcohol can increase the risk of low blood sugar and make blood sugar control less predictable. Follow your diabetes meal plan and ask your doctor before drinking alcohol.
