Medical Description

Afrezza inhalation kit is an inhaled mealtime insulin used to help control blood sugar in adults with diabetes. It contains human insulin, a hormone that helps glucose move from the bloodstream into body cells for energy. Inhaled insulin lowers blood sugar around meals and is used with the prescribed diabetes plan, including any other insulin or medicines your doctor recommends. The powder is breathed into the lungs through the supplied inhaler, and the kit should be used exactly as taught.

Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Pregnancy

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy. Insulin needs can change during pregnancy, so blood sugar monitoring and treatment may need review.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

Available information suggests that human insulin is unlikely to reach breast milk in clinically significant amounts. Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding because treatment needs may change.

Driving

Driving

Low or high blood sugar can impair concentration and driving. Check your blood sugar before driving and do not drive if affected.

Alcohol

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol unless your diabetes team confirms it is suitable, because it can increase low blood sugar risk.

Directions for Use

Use Afrezza inhalation kit exactly as taught by your doctor or diabetes educator. Load the supplied cartridge into the inhaler and breathe the powder in through your mouth. Do not swallow the powder or share the inhaler. Use it around meals as prescribed and do not adjust the amount yourself.

Storage and disposal

Keep unused cartridges in their original packaging according to the pack instructions, protected from moisture and excessive heat. Store the inhaler as instructed, keep it away from children and dispose of used cartridges as directed.

Quick Tips

  • Check your blood sugar as advised and keep a fast source of sugar available.
  • Learn the early signs of low blood sugar and teach close contacts how to help.
  • Use only the Afrezza inhaler supplied with the kit and keep it clean and dry.
  • Do not share Afrezza inhalation kit with another person.
  • Carry identification showing that you use insulin.

Dosage

Overdose

Too much insulin can cause severe low blood sugar, seizures or unconsciousness. 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 the insulin the body needs. After it reaches the bloodstream, it helps glucose move from the blood into muscle and other cells, where glucose can be used for energy. This lowers the amount of glucose circulating in the blood.

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 diabetes medicines can increase or reduce low blood sugar risk, beta-blockers can hide warning signs, corticosteroids and diuretics can raise blood sugar, and thyroid medicines can change insulin needs.

Interactions with food items

Alcohol can increase the risk of low blood sugar and make warning symptoms harder to recognise. Follow your diabetes meal plan and ask your doctor before drinking alcohol.
