Insulin inhalation is a powder that is supplied in "dose blisters" on cards that are packaged in a clear plastic tray. This tray is sealed inside a foil pouch that also contains a moisture-absorbing preservative packet. The 1-milligram (mg) dose blisters are supplied on a card printed with green ink. The 3-mg dose blisters are supplied on a card printed with blue ink.

Each 1-milligram dose blister of insulin inhalation powder is equal to 3 units of injectable insulin and each 3-milligram dose blister is equal to 8 units of injectable insulin. Using three of the 1-mg dose blisters will not give you the same amount of medicine as one 3-mg dose blister. You may receive too much insulin when using three 1-mg dose blisters together, which could result in hypoglycemia.

If you are combining 1-mg and 3-mg dose blisters to get your correct dose of insulin, always use the least number of blisters possible. For example, if your dose is 4 mg, use a 1-mg blister and a 3-mg blister (a total of two blisters). Do not use four 1-mg blisters or you may receive too much of this medication

The inhaler unit supplied with this medication includes a base, a chamber, and a release unit. Each release unit may be used for up to 2 weeks before replacing. You may use the inhaler for up to 1 year before replacing it.

Store the medication at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Do not refrigerate or freeze. Protect the medicine from moisture and humidity at all times. Do not store the medicine in a bathroom where you shower.

Once you have opened the foil pouch, keep the unused dose blisters in the pouch and use them within 3 months after opening the pouch. Keep the moisture-absorbing preservative packet contained in the foil pouch and do not open the packet or use its contents.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Use the medication as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and wait until your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

If you use this medication as meal-time insulin and you forget to use your dose before a meal, use the insulin when you remember and wait 10 minutes before eating.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine.

Symptoms of an insulin inhalation overdose may be the same as signs of low blood sugar: confusion, drowsiness, weakness, fast heartbeat, sweating, tremor, and nausea.

What should I avoid while taking insulin inhalation?

Do not smoke while using insulin inhalation. You should not use this medication if you have smoked within the past 6 months. If you start smoking while using insulin inhalation, you will have to stop using the medication and switch to another form of insulin to control your blood sugar.
