Buy Lantus (Insulin) 100 Units/mL

What Is Lantus (Insulin)

Lantus is the brand name of insulin glargine, a long-acting insulin used to treat adults and children with type 1 diabetes mellitus and adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus to control high blood sugar.

Lantus replaces the insulin that your body no longer produces. Insulin is a natural substance that allows your body to convert dietary sugar into energy and helps store energy for later use. In type 2 diabetes mellitus, your body does not produce enough insulin, or the insulin produced is not used properly, causing a rise in blood sugar. Like other types of insulin, Lantus is used to normalize blood sugar levels. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual dysfunction. Proper control of diabetes has also been shown to reduce your risk of a heart attack or stroke.

Lantus is meant to be used alongside a proper diet and exercise program recommended by your doctor.

Lantus Warnings

You will be taught how to properly inject this medication since that is the only way to use it. Do not inject cold insulin because this can be painful. Always wash your hands before measuring and injecting insulin. Lantus is always clear and colorless; look for cloudy solution or clumps in the container before injecting it.

Do not use Lantus to treat diabetic ketoacidosis. A short-acting insulin is used to treat this condition.

It is recommended that you take a diabetes education program to learn more about diabetes and how to manage it.

Other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine, so make sure you tell your doctor your complete medical history. For example, in liver disease, the effect of Lantus may be increased and the amount of Lantus or other insulin may need to be adjusted.

The following conditions increase blood sugar and may increase the amount of insulin or Lantus you need:

Emotional disturbances
Infection
Stress

Lantus (Insulin) Dosage

Lantus is a long-acting insulin that works slowly over about 24 hours. You may have to use Lantus in combination with another type of insulin or with a type of oral diabetes medicine to keep your blood sugar under control.

Lantus injection is available as:

10 milliliter (ml) vial (1,000 units/10 ml)
3 ml cartridge systems for use only in OptiClik (300 units/3 ml)
3 ml SoloStar disposable insulin device (300 Units/3 ml)

The dosage of Lantus is based on your medical condition and your response to treatment. Your doctor will give you very specific instructions on how much Lantus to take daily.

Lantus may be administered any time during the day, but it should be taken at the same time each day. If you are on insulin therapy, it is essential that you monitor your blood glucose levels.

If you have type 1 diabetes, your doctor will prescribe Lantus with short-acting insulin. If you have type 2 diabetes, your doctor may start you on a dose of 10 units daily and then adjust Lantus according to your needs.

Lantus-Insulin Overdose

If you suspect that you are suffering from an overdose of this drug, you might be in need of immediate medical care.

Missed Dose of Lantus

It is very important to follow your insulin regimen exactly. Do not miss any doses of insulin. Keep extra supplies of insulin and an extra syringe and needle on hand. Talk to your doctor about what to do if you miss a dose, as treatment varies according to your medical condition.
