Tresiba FlexTouch 100 Units/ml Insulin Pen (3ml)
Tresiba FlexTouch is an ultra-long-acting basal insulin (insulin degludec) used to improve blood sugar control in adults and children with diabetes mellitus. Unlike many other insulins, Tresiba provides a steady glucose-lowering effect that lasts for more than 42 hours, offering greater flexibility in daily dosing.
Why Choose Tresiba FlexTouch?
Tresiba is designed to mimic the body’s natural basal insulin secretion. Its unique "multi-hexamer" mechanism ensures a slow and continuous release into the bloodstream. This stability often leads to a lower risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia (low blood sugar at night) compared to older basal insulins.
The FlexTouch pen is a pre-filled, disposable delivery device. It features a torque-free mechanism, meaning the button does not extend when you dial the dose, making it easier to press and ideal for users with limited hand strength.
