Mechanism of action
VIAject combines human insulin with a patented diluent containing an excipient (likely citrate or similar) that enhances subcutaneous absorption kinetics, allowing faster peak insulin levels and shorter time-to-action compared to conventional insulin formulations. This rapid onset is intended to better match postprandial glucose excursions in diabetic patients.
