Medicine Description moist-1 100 ml
Moist-1 100 ml Cream is a medication that contains insulin glargine, a long-acting insulin analog. It functions by mimicking the action of natural insulin, which is produced by the pancreas. Insulin glargine facilitates the uptake of glucose by muscle and fat cells, thereby lowering blood glucose levels. The pharmacokinetics of insulin glargine allow for a steady and prolonged release of insulin into the bloodstream, creating a baseline insulin level that helps control blood sugar levels throughout the day and night. This mechanism is particularly beneficial for individuals with diabetes who require consistent glucose management to prevent hyperglycemia and its associated complications.
