What is Insulin Degludec + Liraglutide and what is it used for?
Insulin Degludec + Liraglutide is used to improve blood sugar levels in adult patients with Type 2 diabetes.
It contains two active substances that help your body control blood glucose levels:
Insulin Degludec – a long-acting basal insulin that lowers blood sugar levels.
Liraglutide – a GLP-1 analogue that helps your body produce more insulin during meals and reduces the amount of sugar produced by the body.
Insulin Degludec + Liraglutide is used together with oral antidiabetic medicines (such as metformin, pioglitazone, and sulfonylureas). It is prescribed when these medicines, used alone or with GLP-1 therapy or basal insulin, are not sufficient to control blood glucose levels.
