Description
LANTUS 100 IU 3 ML 5 PEN
Lantus is a brand name for the medication insulin glargine, which is a long-acting insulin analog used to treat diabetes. It is produced by the company Sanofi.
Lantus is available in several different forms, including vials and pre-filled pens. It is designed for subcutaneous injection, typically taken once a day at the same time each day, to help regulate blood sugar levels throughout the day and night.
Insulin glargine works by mimicking the action of natural insulin, which helps to transport glucose from the bloodstream into cells for energy. Lantus can help to regulate blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of complications associated with uncontrolled blood sugar, such as nerve damage, kidney damage, and eye damage.
Common side effects of Lantus may include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), injection site reactions, weight gain, and fluid retention. More serious side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions and insulin resistance.
It should be noted that Lantus can interact with other medications, and it is important to inform a doctor or healthcare provider of all medications being taken before starting treatment with Lantus. Lantus is available only by prescription and should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
