Pharmacological action of
The drug Ryzodeg FlexTouch is a combined preparation consisting of a soluble analogue of human insulin of superlong action (insulin degludec) and a fast-acting soluble analogue of human insulin (insulin aspart) produced using recombinant molecular biochemistry recombinant DNA
Mechanism of action
Insulin degludec and insulin aspart specifically bind to the receptor of human endogenous insulin and interact with it, realize their pharmacological effect similar to the effect of human insulin. The hypoglycemic effect of insulin is due to increased glucose utilization by tissues after binding of insulin to muscle and fat cell receptors, and a simultaneous decrease in the rate of glucose production by the liver.
Pharmacodynamics
The pharmacodynamic effects of the components of the drug Ryzodeg FlexTouch are clearly different and the general profile of the drug reflects the profiles of the action of the individual components: fast-acting insulin aspart and insulin degludec superlong.
The basal component of the drug Ryzodeg FlexTouch, which has an ultra-long action (insulin degludec), after subcutaneous injection forms soluble multihexamers in the subcutaneous depot, from which there is a continuous slow entry of insulin degludec into the circulation, providing a flat profile of action and stable hypoglycemic effect of the drug. This effect is preserved in combination with insulin aspart and does not affect the rate of absorption of monomers of fast-acting insulin aspart. arising between 0 hours and 6 hours of the morning, confirmed by the results of measuring plasma glucose concentrations of less than 3.1 mmol / l or evidence that the patient needed the help of third parties).
Twice daily administration of Ryzodeg provides similar glycemic control (HbA1c) compared with biphasic aspart 30 insulin, which was also administered twice a day. The drug Ryzodeg provides the best positive dynamics in reducing the concentration of glucose in plasma on an empty stomach. With the use of the Ryzodeg preparation, the target plasma glucose values of 5 mmol / L were achieved faster in patients compared with patients treated with biphasic aspart 30 insulin. The Ryzodeg preparation causes hypoglycemia less often (including nighttime). In patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, treatment with Ryzodeg once a day in combination with insulin aspart before other meals showed similar glycemic control (HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose) with rarer cases of nocturnal hypoglycemia compared with the baseline-bolus regimen of insulin administration Dstemir and insulin aspart with each meal.
According to a meta-analysis of two 26-week open trials designed according to the “heal for the goal” principle involving patients with type 2 diabetes, the Ryzodeg drug, administered twice a day, showed a lower incidence of confirmed hypoglycemia episodes in general and episodes of confirmed nocturnal hypoglycemia compared with biphasic insulin aspart 30. The results showed that Ryzodeg reduces fasting plasma glucose concentration with a lower risk of hypoglycemia both during the study and during the maintenance of the dose from 16 weeks (Table 1)

Children and adolescents
The pharmacokinetic properties of Ryzodeg in a study in children (6–11 years old) and adolescents (12–18 years old) with type 1 diabetes mellitus are comparable to those in adult patients with a single dose.
The total concentration and maximum concentration of aspart insulin is higher in children than in adults and the same in adolescents and adults.
The pharmacokinetic properties of degludec insulin in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes are comparable to those in adult patients. Against the background of a single administration to patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, a dose of insulin degludec has been demonstrated that the total dose exposure in children and adolescents is higher compared to that in adult patients.
Preclinical Safety Studies

Description of individual adverse reactions
Immune system disorders
When using insulin preparations, allergic reactions may develop. Allergic reactions of an immediate type to insulin or auxiliary components. included in the preparation may potentially endanger the patient’s life. When using the Ryzodeg FlexTouch drug, hypersensitivity reactions (including swelling of the tongue or lips, diarrhea, nausea, tiredness and skin itching) and urticaria were rare.
Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia can develop if the dose of insulin is too high in relation to the patient's need for it. Severe hypoglycemia can lead to loss of consciousness and / or convulsions, temporary or irreversible impairment of brain function up to a fatal outcome. Symptoms of hypoglycemia, as a rule, develop suddenly. These include “cold sweat”, pallor of the skin, increased fatigue, nervousness or tremor, anxiety, unusual tiredness or weakness, disorientation, decreased concentration of attention, drowsiness, severe hunger, blurred vision, headache, nausea, heart palpitations.
Lipodystrophy
Lipodystrophy (including lipohypertrophy, lipoatrophy) may develop at the injection site. Compliance with the rules for changing the injection site within the same anatomical area helps to reduce the risk of developing this adverse reaction.
Reactions at the injection site
Patients treated with Ryzodeg FlexTouch showed reactions at the injection site (hematoma, pain, local hemorrhage, erythema, connective tissue nodules, swelling, discoloration of the skin, itching, irritation, and tightening at the injection site). Most reactions at the injection site are minor and temporary and usually disappear with continued treatment.
The pharmacokinetic properties of Ryzodeg FlexTouch have been studied in children and adolescents under 18 years of age (see Pharmacokietics subsection). Studies of efficacy and safety in children and adolescents have not been conducted.
In clinical trials, there is no difference in frequency, the type or severity of adverse reactions between elderly patients, patients with impaired renal or hepatic function and the general patient population was not detected.
Drug Interaction
There are a number of medicines that affect your insulin requirement.
The need for insulin can be reduced by: oral hypoglycemic drugs, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GPP-1) receptor agonists, MAO inhibitors, non-selective beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, salicylate, and anodolybic anabolic.
Insulin requirements may increase: oral hormonal contraceptives, thiazide diuretics, glucocorticosteroids, thyroid hormones, sympathomimetics, somatropin and danazol.
Beta blockers can mask the symptoms of hypoglycemia.
Octreotide / lanreotide can both increase and decrease the body's need for insulin.
Ethanol can both potentiate and reduce the hypoglycemic effect of insulin.
Incompatibility
Some medicines when added to the drug Rizodeg FlexTach may cause the destruction of insulin degludek and / or insulin aspart. The drug Risodeg FlexTach cannot be added to infusion solutions. It is impossible to mix this preparation with other medicines.
Overdose
No specific dose required for insulin overdose has been established, however, hypoglycaemia may develop gradually, if the dose is too high compared to the patient's need (see Special Instructions).
The patient may eliminate mild hypoglycemia by taking glucose or sugary products by himself. Therefore, patients with diabetes mellitus are advised to carry sugar products with them constantly.
In case of severe hypoglycemia, when the patient is unconscious, he or she should be administered glucagon (0.5 to 1 mg) intramuscularly or subcutaneously (may be administered by a trained person), or intravenously dextrose (glucose) solution (may be administered only by a healthcare professional). It is also necessary to administer intravenously dextrose in the event of seating 10-15 minutes after administration of glucagon, the patient does not regain consciousness. After regaining consciousness, the patient is advised to take a carbohydrate-rich diet, for prophylaxis of recurrence of hypoglycemia.
