This medication comes with important safety information regarding potential risks and necessary precautions. Please review these details carefully, and consult your healthcare provider if you have any concerns or questions.

• Breathing Problems: This medication, including Afrezza (insulin), may lead to breathing difficulties such as bronchospasm, wheezing, coughing, and chest discomfort. It is not suitable for individuals with chronic lung diseases like asthma or COPD. Before starting treatment, your doctor will evaluate your lung function and continue monitoring it during use. If you experience any breathing issues, seek medical attention immediately.

• Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia): The use of Afrezza (insulin) alone or with other diabetes medications can result in dangerously low blood sugar levels, which can be life-threatening. Symptoms can vary and may include shakiness, nervousness, rapid heartbeat, sweating, confusion, drowsiness, weakness, and intense hunger. Always carry a fast-acting sugar source, such as glucose tablets or fruit juice, to manage sudden drops in blood sugar. Certain factors like changes in diet, alcohol consumption, and concurrent use of other diabetes medications can increase the risk of hypoglycemia.

• Higher Blood Acid Levels (Diabetic Ketoacidosis - DKA): People with Type 1 diabetes using Afrezza (insulin) might experience a higher incidence of DKA compared to those using other insulin types. Inform your provider if you have risk factors for DKA, such as illness or use of medications like diuretics. Symptoms include difficulty breathing, fruity-smelling breath, and confusion. Seek immediate medical help if these occur.

• Low Blood Potassium Levels: Afrezza (insulin) can decrease potassium levels in your blood, which can be hazardous, especially if you're already on medications that lower potassium. Regular monitoring of potassium levels by your healthcare provider is essential. Symptoms to watch for include muscle weakness, cramps, constipation, nausea, or vomiting.

• Severe Allergic Reaction: Though rare, Afrezza (insulin) can cause severe allergic reactions. If you notice swelling in the lips, tongue, or face, or experience a rash or breathing difficulties, seek emergency medical care right away.

Contraindications: Avoid using this medication if you have:

• Chronic lung problems (e.g., asthma, COPD).
• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
• Allergy to regular human insulin.

Always discuss your medical history and any concerns with your healthcare provider before starting this medication to ensure its safe use.

When taking this medication, some common side effects may occur, including weight gain, cough, throat pain or irritation, and headaches. These are generally mild but should be discussed with your healthcare provider if they persist or worsen. Additionally, some individuals may experience low blood sugar, with symptoms such as sudden sweating, shaking, fast heartbeat, hunger, blurred vision, dizziness, or tingling in the hands and feet. To manage low blood sugar, consider carrying glucose tablets or gel, or consuming a quick source of sugar like candy or juice. Remember to eat regular meals to prevent blood sugar dips.

Other side effects that have been reported include diarrhea, nausea, bronchitis, fatigue, and urinary tract infections. Though less common, these should be monitored, and a healthcare provider consulted if they become severe.

Serious side effects, although rare, require immediate medical attention. These include bronchospasm, which presents as breathing difficulties and chest tightness; severely low blood sugar, which can cause confusion and agitation; high ketone levels in the blood, resulting in nausea and fruity breath; and severely low potassium levels, which may lead to muscle cramps and abnormal heartbeats. Additionally, severe allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing necessitate urgent care.

Always inform your healthcare provider of any side effects you experience, ensuring your safety while using this medication.
