Can I substitute Lantus 100 IU with Glaritus 100 IU?
Asked by Female, 46 · 2 months ago
Indeed, insulin glargine is included in both Lantus 100 IU and Glaritus 100 IU, and they can be used interchangeably. Blood sugar should be continuously checked after switching, though, as individual sensitivity and absorption can differ slightly. Always wait to make a modification until your doctor has confirmed the dosage and timing.
