Mg, mcg, units, mL: How Will Symlin’s Safety Measure Up?
According to the product information, Symlin should only be used in patients who: use their insulin as prescribed, but still need better blood glucose control; will follow their doctor’s instructions exactly; will follow up with their doctor often; will test their blood glucose levels before and after every meal and at bedtime; and understand how to adjust Symlin and insulin doses. Also, the prescribing information contains a boxed warning that highlights the risk of insulin-induced severe hypoglycemia, especially in type 1 patients. It also stresses the explicit need for appropriate patient selection. Due to the risk of hypoglycemia, all patients treated with Symlin should be instructed to initially reduce preprandial rapid- or short-acting insulin dosages, including fixed-mixture insulins (e.g., 70/30) by 50%.
