About Trurapi®

(insulin aspart 100U/mL)

Trurapi®

This site has been designed to support patients who have been prescribed Trurapi. You should always listen to the advice from your doctor or nurse, and read the patient information leaflet for more information.

What is Trurapi?

Trurapi® is a rapid-acting type of insulin. It can be taken shortly before or soon after a meal to help regulate sugar (glucose) levels in the body for adults and children aged 1 year and above with either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.

As blood glucose levels rise after eating a meal, the pancreas normally produces a fast-acting ‘burst’ of insulin to bring blood glucose levels back to normal. Trurapi® gets to work quickly but only for a short time to mimic this insulin burst.

Trurapi® is available in pre-filled disposable pens, cartridges for use with a re-usable pen and vials for use with insulin syringes. Your diabetes nurse or doctor should talk to you about which of these options is right for you and how to use it.

When should you take Trurapi?

Trurapi® is a clear solution that should be injected shortly before eating a meal or soon after a meal.

Other medications and Trurapi

Tell your doctor, pharmacist or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines. Some medicines can change your blood sugar level. This may mean your insulin dose has to change. So, before taking a medicine ask your doctor if it will affect your blood sugar and what action, if any, you need to take.

You also need to be careful when you stop taking a medicine.

Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor, pharmacist or nurse has told you.

Safety information

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) is a very common side effect of Trurapi (may affect more than 1 in 10 people), which may be life-threatening if it is prolonged or severe. You should tell your doctor, pharmacist or nurse straight away if you notice this side effect. For a full list of side effects, please read the patient information leaflet included in your pack and consult your doctor or nurse.

Adverse events should be reported.

Reporting of side effects: If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse. This includes any possible side effects not listed in the package leaflet. You can also report side effects directly via the Yellow Card Scheme at www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard. By reporting side effects, you can help provide more information on the safety of this medicine.
