Side Effects
Like all medicines, Dongsulin N 100iu penfill injection can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common ones include:
- Low blood sugar, particularly in the night or before meals
- Weight gain
- Thickened or dimpled skin at injection sites
- Local redness
Tell your doctor if a side effect is severe or does not go away.
Precautions
Gently roll the pen or vial until the suspension is evenly cloudy before every injection, since an unmixed dose is unpredictable. Rotate sites within the same region. Night time hypos are the main risk with NPH, so discuss any early morning headaches, sweating or vivid dreams with your doctor. Keep unopened insulin refrigerated, never frozen.
Tell your doctor about any other medicines or supplements you take, any allergies, and if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
