SymlinPen 120 is a man-made form of a hormone that occurs naturally in the body. This medicine lowers blood sugar in three ways. It slows the rate that food moves from your stomach to your intestines, which keeps your blood sugar from rising too fast. This medicine also lowers the amount of glucose (sugar) your liver produces. Lastly, this medicine triggers the feeling of fullness after meals to help control your appetite and decrease how much food you eat.

SymlinPen 120 is used together with insulin to treat type 1 or type 2 diabetes. This medicine is usually given after other diabetes medicines have been tried without success.

SymlinPen 120 may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
