Product Description

 

Lantus Solostar Pen is a pre-filled, disposable insulin pen that contains insulin glargine, a long-acting insulin. Designers created it to provide once-daily blood sugar control for adults and children with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Insulin glargine works by releasing a steady, consistent level of insulin into the bloodstream over a 24-hour period. Consequently, this helps manage blood glucose levels between meals and overnight, providing a stable baseline for better diabetes management. In addition, the Solostar Pen makes administration easy and convenient, featuring a simple push-button mechanism and a visible dose counter. This ensures you get an accurate and reliable dose with every injection. Ultimately, it is an essential part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan that includes diet and exercise.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

Q1: What type of insulin is in Lantus Solostar Pen? Lantus contains insulin glargine, which is a long-acting insulin. This means it works over a prolonged period (up to 24 hours) to help control your baseline blood sugar levels.

Q2: How often should I use Lantus Solostar Pen? You should typically use it once daily, at the same time each day, as your doctor directs. Your doctor will determine the best time for you to take it based on your lifestyle and other medications.

Q3: How should I store the pen? You should store unused pens in the refrigerator (2°C to 8°C). However, once you start using a pen, you should store it at room temperature (below 30°C) and use it within 28 days. Do not refrigerate a pen in use.

Q4: What should I do if my blood sugar gets too low? Lantus can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Therefore, if you experience symptoms like sweating, shakiness, or dizziness, consume a fast-acting source of sugar (e.g., glucose tablets, juice, or candy). Contact your doctor if this happens frequently.

Q5: What is the difference between Lantus and other insulins? Lantus is a basal (long-acting) insulin. This means it provides a steady, continuous dose of insulin. In contrast, other insulins like Humalog or Novolog are rapid-acting and are used to cover meals.
