What kind of insulin is Basaglar?
Basaglar is a prescription branded drug used to raise blood sugar:
- adults and children (over 6 years of age) with type 1 diabetes
- adults with type 2 diabetes
Basaglar contains the drug insulin glargine, which is a long-acting insulin.
Basaglar is available as a liquid solution for injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection). The drug comes in the drug Basaglar KwikPen, which contains 3 ml of solution. Each ml of solution contains 100 units of insulin glargine.
The efficiency of Basaglar insulin glargine
Basaglar has been shown to be effective in improving blood sugar levels in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
The human response to diabetes treatment is often measured by testing for hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). This measurement shows the average blood sugar level over the last two to three months. The American Diabetes Association recommends a target of HbA1c of less than 7.0% for most adults.
With type 1 diabetes
In a six-month clinical trial, adults took Basaglar in combination with insulin with food. (In people with type 1 diabetes, Basaglar is always given with insulin with food.) At the end of this study, HbA1c was reduced by an average of 0.35% in people who also took Basaglar insulin with food. In this group, 34.5% of people achieved HbA1c levels less than 7%.
With type 2 diabetes
In another clinical study, Bazaglar was tested on adults with type 2 diabetes. These people have not been able to sufficiently improve their blood sugar levels with other insulin glargine products or oral diabetes medications.
In this study, people took Basaglar with oral diabetes medications for six months. (In people with type 2 diabetes, Basaglar is sometimes used with other diabetes drugs.) At the end of this study, HbA1c was reduced by an average of 1.3% in people taking Basaglar orally.
What insulin is comparable to Basaglar?
Basaglar medication is often compared to Lantus. You can buy both products on our website Insulin.Store. Both remedies have insulin glargine as their active substance.
Basaglar is called a drug for the treatment of Lantus. This means that it is very similar to Lantus, which is a biological drug. Biological drugs are made in the laboratory from living cells. The following drugs are very similar forms of the original biological drug.
Although Basaglar is a continuation of Lantus treatment, it is not a generic drug. Generics contain exact copies of the active substance of the branded drug. This is possible for drugs that are made from chemicals. But because the process of making biological drugs is very complex, an exact copy of the original biological drug cannot be made.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) believes that the following insulins are as safe and effective as the original drug. This means that Basaglar improves blood sugar levels in the same way that Lantus does. This also means that Basaglar and Lantus cause similar side effects.
