Tanzeum Pen Description

Tanzeum Pen contains Arbiglutide, a diabetes medicine that may be used together with diet and exercise to treat type 2 diabetes. Tanzeum Pen is usually prescribed after other diabetes medications have been tried without success. Tanzeum Pen is injected once weekly (on the same day each week) under the skin of your stomach, thigh, or upper arm. It may be administered at any time of the day without regard to meals.

Proper control of high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Maintaining control of diabetes can also help to less the risk of a heart attack or stroke.

Conditions Treated by Tanzeum Pen

Tanzeum Pen contains prescription strength medication that is used to treat non-insulin-dependent diabetes, also known as type 2 diabetes. The pancreas, an organ in the body, produces several important hormones, including insulin which aids your cells in turning glucose from the food you eat into energy. Type 2 diabetes is a disease in which the pancreas does not make enough insulin or does not properly use the insulin that is does make.

Arbiglutide, the active ingredient in Tanzeum Pen is similar to a natural hormone in your body called incretin. It works by causing insulin release in response to high sugar levels and decreasing the amount of sugar your liver makes.

Before You Use Tanzeum Pen

Before receiving a prescription for Tanzeum Pen , tell your doctor if you have or have ever had pancreatitis; severe stomach problems, including gastroparesis (slowed movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine) or problems digesting food; or kidney or liver disease.
