Insulin degludec is a long-acting human insulin analog used in the management of diabetes mellitus in adults, adolescents, and children aged 1 year and above. It is approved for once-daily subcutaneous administration and achieves a flat and stable pharmacokinetic profile, allowing for flexible dosing intervals.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic parameters reported for healthy adult subjects with type 1 and type 2 diabetes after subcutaneous administration.
