Semglee
Semglee (insulin glargine) is a long-acting insulin used for the management of diabetes mellitus in adults and children. It helps control blood sugar levels by providing a steady release of insulin over a 24-hour period, mimicking the body's natural insulin secretion. Semglee is designed to be used alongside a meal-time insulin or oral antidiabetic agents.

Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Semglee Work?
- Providing a sustained release of insulin: Insulin glargine forms a precipitate in the subcutaneous tissue, which slows its absorption and results in a gradual, prolonged effect on glucose levels. This helps maintain a stable blood sugar level throughout the day and night.
Common Dosages
- Injection: Common concentration is 100 units/mL.
Typical Dosing
- The usual recommended starting dose may vary based on individual patient needs but is often initiated at 10 units once daily, adjusted based on blood glucose monitoring and individual response.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Improvement of glycemic control in adults and children with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Who Shouldn't Take Semglee?
- Known hypersensitivity to insulin glargine or any components of the formulation.
- Severe hypoglycemia.
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Instruct patients on the proper technique for self-injection and the importance of rotating injection sites to minimize local irritation.
- Advise patients to monitor their blood glucose levels regularly and adjust the dose based on their healthcare provider's recommendations.
- Discuss potential side effects, including hypoglycemia, injection site reactions, and weight gain, and encourage patients to report any severe or unusual symptoms.
