Basaglar

Basic Properties

Active substance: Insulin glargine

Basaglar is a long-acting type of insulin for controlling blood sugar and glucose levels in the body of the person with diabetes mellitus type 1 (children and adolescent patients) and 2 (adults). As all long-acting insulins, Basaglar is usually prescribed in combination with fast-acting insulin or other drugs for diabetes.

The results after the administration occur in approximately one hour and last from 24 to 29 hours. Doctors usually prescribe this medication to be taken on a daily basis.

The cartridges should be carefully checked before inserting them into the pen. If the solution has foreign particles in it, or it is not transparent – take another cartridge.

Instructions for Use

It is recommended to administer Basaglar after the meal subcutaneously (under the skin). Do not inject it into the vein or muscle. It is forbidden to use the same cartridge for two different people even if the needle was changed in order to avoid various dangerous infections.

Limitations

Patients with the following health issues cannot use Basaglar:

• Hypersensitivity or allergies to any components of the medication;
• During hypoglycemia episodes (low blood sugar).
• People with diabetic ketoacidosis.
• Children under the age of 6.

Usually, doctors prescribe insulin analogs for people with those symptoms.

Dosing and Administration

Only doctors may prescribe Basaglar 100 units/ml to the person, as it is a prescription medicine. It is usually injected once a day into the fatty tissue of the abdomen, shoulder, or thigh. The area should be changed after every administration in order to avoid skin irritations and the formation of lumps under the skin. Do not massage the injection site after drug administration.

Recalculation of the remedy dose may be required if there were changes in the patient’s medications, sudden weight loss or gain, diet or exercise routine changes, etc. Only the doctor may alter the dosage of medication.

During low blood sugar episodes, the person should have a quick sugar source with them. It includes various sugary products, such as sweet drinks or snacks, and glucose pills. If hypoglycemia episode became more serious, it is recommended to contact the health care provider to get a glucagon injection to get better quicker and avoid complications.
