Important Risk Information: If regular adjustments or modifications to the basal rate of insulin are required in a 24-hour period, or if the amount of insulin used at mealtimes requires adjustments of less than 2-Unit increments, use of the V-Go Insulin Patch Pump may result in hypoglycaemia. The following conditions may occur during insulin therapy with V-Go: hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose) or hyperglycaemia (high blood glucose). Other adverse reactions associated with V-Go use may include skin irritation from the adhesive pad or infections at the infusion site. If symptoms persist, please contact your healthcare professional. V-Go should be removed before any magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) testing.
