What is insulin glargine?
Insulin glargine is a long-acting insulin used to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes in certain patients to improve and maintain blood glucose levels. Insulin glargine is a man-made form of human insulin that is used once daily to provide a base level of insulin that keeps working for 24 hours or longer.
Insulin glargine is available under the brand names Lantus, Basaglar, Toujeo, Semglee, and Rezvoglar.
Rezvoglar, Lantus, Semglee, and Toujeo are FDA-approved to be used for use in adult and pediatric patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Basasglar is FDA-approved to be used by adults for type 2 diabetes and also for adults and pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes. In patients with type 1 diabetes, insulin glargine must be used together with a short-acting insulin.
