Not all insulin glargine brands are equal in dosing. Follow your doctor’s instructions when changing from one brand to another. If there are any changes in the brand, strength, or type of insulin you use, your dosage needs may change. ...
Insulin Glargine (Monograph)Play pronunciation Brand names: Basaglar, Lantus, Soliqua 100/33 (combination), Toujeo Drug class: Long-acting Insulins ATC class: A10AB01 VA class: HS501 Chemical name: 21A-Glycine-30Ba-l-arginine-30Bb-l-arginine insulin (human) Molecular formula: C267H404N72O...
Insulin was obtained from animal pancreatic tissues to treat diabetes before the availability of recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology. Often, the yield was low and potency was variable (∼25%). Toward the end of 1922, using isoelectric precipitation, animal insulin was able to be produced at high...
The availability of oral insulin would free millions of people with diabetes from the everyday burden of subcutaneous (SC) insulin injections. Furthermore, the convenience of oral insulin might facilitate earlier initiation of insulin therapy and better patient compliance leading to improved glucose cont...
Insulin glargine is a long-acting human insulin analog to enhance glycemic control in adults and pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes and in adults with type 2 diabetes. Biosimilars are approved by the FDA as having highly similar safety and efficacy to the reference brand and "no clinically...
When GLP-1 RAs were introduced as novel agents to treat type 2 diabetes, there was uncertainty about several potential adverse effects such as acutepancreatitis,pancreatic cancer, andthyroid cancer[102,103]. The availability of large databases from randomized CV outcome studies that defined pancreatiti...

half-unit insulin pens on the market [36]. Besides insulin pens commonly used for years tailored to deliver insulin 100 U/ml, progress in the development of higher concentrated insulin has led to new insulin pens for 200 U/ml (Humalog, Tresiba) and 300 U/ml (Toujeo/Glargine). Humalog ...
Long-acting insulin, like insulin glargine and detemir, provides a steady insulin level with no pronounced peak, making it suitable for maintaining baseline glucose control throughout the day and night. These insulins are designed to be taken once or twice daily to mimic the body’s natural ...
0.1–1.2% for peptides such as desmopressin and semaglutide [7,8], there still lies an obvious potential in further improving the fraction of intact peptide absorption. This could lead to lower manufacturing expenses or simply enabling the therapeutic availability of larger macromolecules more prone ...
