Name: Lantus XR Solostar Insulin Pen 1.5 ml

description: LANTUS XR is a sterile injection preparation containing Insulin Glargine. This insulin injection is used subcutaneously. Insulin Glagine is an analogue of human recombinant insulin or man-made insulin with activity similar to natural insulin in the human body. Insulin Glargine is a long-acting insulin with a glucose-lowering action duration of 24 hours. This product is used to control high blood sugar levels in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus who have undergone treatment with lifestyle changes and anti-diabetic drugs but cannot achieve the desired target of reducing blood sugar levels. This drug works to lower blood sugar levels by stimulating peripheral glucose uptake, especially skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, and inhibiting hepatic glucose production. Insulin inhibits adipocyte cell lipolysis, proteolysis and increases protein synthesis. When using this medication, you must ACCORD TO THE DOCTOR'S INSTRUCTIONS. Purchasing this drug requires education regarding the appropriate and safe use or consumption of the drug which will incur a fee.
