Soliqua

Soliqua (insulin glargine and lixisenatide) is a combination medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in adults. It combines insulin glargine, a long-acting insulin, with lixisenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. This combination helps to lower blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin secretion, reducing glucose production by the liver, and slowing gastric emptying, thereby improving overall glycemic control.

Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Soliqua Work?

Insulin glargine provides a steady release of insulin that helps to lower blood glucose levels by facilitating glucose uptake in tissues and inhibiting glucose production by the liver. Lixisenatide enhances insulin secretion in response to meals, reduces glucagon secretion, and delays gastric emptying. Together, these actions help to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.



Common Dosages

  • Pre-filled Pens: Each pen contains either 100 units/mL of insulin glargine and 33 mcg/mL of lixisenatide.

Typical Dosing

  • For adults with type 2 diabetes: The recommended starting dose is 15 units of Soliqua once daily. The dose may be adjusted based on individual blood glucose levels, with a maximum dose of 60 units per day.


Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Treatment of type 2 diabetes in adults to improve glycemic control in combination with diet and exercise.


Who Shouldn't Take Soliqua?

  • Known hypersensitivity to insulin glargine, lixisenatide, or any components of the formulation.
  • History of severe hypoglycemia.
  • Gastroparesis or other significant gastrointestinal disorders.


Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Take Soliqua exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is usually administered once daily, preferably at the same time each day.
  • Rotate injection sites to reduce the risk of lipodystrophy (abnormal fat distribution).
  • Monitor blood glucose levels regularly and report any significant changes to your healthcare provider.
  • Be aware of signs of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), such as sweating, dizziness, or confusion, and have a source of fast-acting glucose available.
