Xultophy 100/3.6 is a premixed injection that combines two medications to manage blood sugar levels in adults with Type 2 diabetes.

Xultophy 100/3.6 is a combination of two medications that work together to lower blood sugar:

• Insulin degludec is a long-acting insulin. It helps control blood sugar levels throughout the day by helping your body absorb and store sugar from the bloodstream after a meal.
• Liraglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It activates GLP-1, a hormone that tells your pancreas to release more insulin, your liver to make less sugar, and makes you feel full longer by slowing down how quickly food leaves the stomach.

Administer Xultophy 100/3.6 once daily at same time each day with or without food. The maximum daily dosage is 50 units (50 units of insulin degludec and 1.8 mg of liraglutide).
