Orleans Community Pharmacy: Introducing Awiqli® – Once-Weekly Insulin for Easier Diabetes Management

Managing diabetes can feel like a daily juggling act. At Orleans Community Pharmacy, we're always looking for ways to make things easier for you. That's why we're excited to introduce Awiqli® (insulin icodec), a revolutionary new long-acting basal insulin that you only need to inject once a week!

What is Awiqli®?

Awiqli® is designed to mimic your body's natural insulin production, helping to regulate your blood sugar levels over a full seven days. This means just one injection per week, on the same day each week, with or without food. Schedule your injection to fit your routine – it's that simple!

The Benefits of Awiqli®: Convenience Redefined

• Once-Weekly Dosing: Say goodbye to daily injections. Awiqli® simplifies your routine and helps you stay on track with your diabetes management.
• Easy-to-Use FlexTouch® Pen: Awiqli® comes pre-filled in a user-friendly FlexTouch® pen, minimizing hassle and maximizing ease of use. The dose counter clearly shows the selected dosage.
• Consistent Blood Sugar Control: Awiqli® provides consistent, long-lasting blood sugar control, helping you maintain healthier levels throughout the week.

Important Considerations:

Like all insulins, Awiqli® carries a risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Hypoglycemia can occur if you take too much insulin, don't eat enough, exercise excessively, or drink alcohol. Symptoms can include headache, fast heartbeat, sweating, shakiness, confusion, and fatigue. It's crucial to monitor your blood sugar regularly and to inform your healthcare provider of any dietary or exercise changes. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.

Who is Awiqli® For?

Awiqli® is indicated for adults with diabetes mellitus to help control high blood sugar levels. For those with type 2 diabetes, it can be used in conjunction with other diabetes medications as directed by your healthcare provider.
