About Basalog 100IU/ml Injection 3 ml

Basalog 100IU/ml Injection 3 ml is used to treat type 1 diabetes in adults and children and type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which your body does not produce enough insulin to control blood sugar levels.

Basalog 100IU/ml Injection 3 ml contains Insulin glargine, which works by replacing the insulin that is normally produced by the body. It also stops the liver from producing more sugar. Thereby, it helps treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Sometimes, Basalog 100IU/ml Injection 3 ml may cause side effects like injection site reactions, low blood sugar, swelling, and weight gain.

Do not use Basalog 100IU/ml Injection 3 ml if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep the doctor informed about your medical conditions and medications to prevent any interactions.

Medicinal Benefits

  • It provides long-term blood sugar control by maintaining stable blood glucose levels throughout the day and night, reducing the risk of blood sugar spikes and drops.
