Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Lantus SoloStar Work?

Insulin glargine works by binding to insulin receptors on cells, facilitating the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into the cells for energy. It also inhibits the liver's production of glucose, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day and night.

Common Dosages

  • Pre-filled insulin pen: Each pen delivers 100 units/mL of insulin glargine.

Typical Dosing

  • The usual starting dose is individualized based on the patient's needs, but it is typically administered once daily, at the same time each day. Adjustments may be necessary based on blood glucose monitoring.
