NovoRapid Penfill
NovoRapid contains the active ingredient Insulin Aspart which is a fast-acting insulin. This is a treatment for diabetes mellitus used with proper diet and exercise to treat high blood sugar levels.
How does Insulin Aspart work as a treatment for Diabetes Mellitus?
Insulin Aspart works by replacing the insulin that is normally produced by the body and by helping move glucose from the blood into other body tissues where it is used for energy. It also stops the liver from producing more glucose.
