Medical Description
Lyxumia Pre Filled solution for injection is used with diet and physical activity to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It contains lixisenatide, which acts like a natural gut hormone that helps the pancreas release insulin when blood sugar is high. It also lowers glucagon release and slows stomach emptying, so sugar from food enters the blood more gradually after meals. Lyxumia injection is injected under the skin of the abdomen, thigh or upper arm using the pre-filled pen after a healthcare professional has taught you how to use it.
Uses
- Type 2 diabetes: The lixisenatide component helps adults lower high blood sugar alongside an advised eating plan and physical activity.
