About Lantus 100IU/ml Injection

Lantus 100IU/ml Injection is a long-acting insulin injection used to control high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes mellitus. It is prescribed for both type 1 diabetes, where the body does not make insulin, and type 2 diabetes, where the body cannot use insulin properly. Maintaining stable insulin levels helps prevent serious long-term complications associated with high blood sugar.

You will typically inject Lantus 100IU/ml Injection once a day. It is highly important to use it at the same time every day to maintain steady blood sugar levels in your body. Because this medication is an injection that works continuously over 24 hours, you can take it with or without food. Combining this injection with healthy food choices and regular physical activity is essential to get the best results from your treatment.

The most common side effect of this medication is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which can cause shakiness, sweating, and dizziness. Other common issues include mild reactions at the injection site, such as redness or swelling. If you experience any serious side effects, such as severe breathing difficulties, sudden swelling of your face or throat, or extreme dizziness, seek emergency medical help immediately.

Do not take this if you are currently experiencing an episode of low blood sugar or if you have ever had an allergic reaction to this medication or any of its ingredients. Before starting your treatment, talk to your doctor if you have kidney disease, liver damage, or heart failure, as these conditions may require special monitoring or dose adjustments.

Using alcohol while taking Lantus 100IU/ml Injection can unpredictably affect your blood sugar levels, significantly increasing your risk of severe low blood sugar. Tell your doctor about all other medicines you are taking, as many drugs can interact with your insulin therapy. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, breastfeeding, or are an older adult, talk to your doctor or pharmacist to ensure this medication is safe for your specific situation.

Uses of Lantus 100IU/ml Injection

Your doctor may prescribe Lantus 100IU/ml Injection to treat several conditions, including:

  • Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Lantus 100IU/ml Injection helps replace the insulin your body is unable to produce naturally, keeping your daily blood sugar levels stable over a 24-hour period.
  • Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Lantus 100IU/ml Injection is used to lower blood sugar levels when oral diabetes medications or other lifestyle changes are no longer sufficient to keep your diabetes under control.

Key Benefits

Lantus 100IU/ml Injection provides long-lasting blood sugar control by delivering a steady supply of insulin throughout the day and night. By maintaining stable glucose levels and simplifying diabetes management, this medicine offers several key health benefits:

  • Steady 24-Hour Blood Sugar Control: Lantus 100IU/ml Injection releases insulin slowly and consistently into the bloodstream, helping prevent sudden spikes and drops in blood sugar and providing reliable day-and-night glucose stability.
  • Protection Against Diabetes Complications: By helping maintain blood sugar within the target range, Lantus 100IU/ml Injection reduces the risk of long-term diabetes-related complications, including nerve damage, kidney problems, vision loss, and cardiovascular concerns.
  • Convenient Daily Diabetes Management: With a simple once-daily injection schedule, Lantus 100IU/ml Injection helps meet your background insulin requirements consistently, making daily diabetes care easier and more manageable.
     

Directions for Use

Always follow your doctor's exact instructions regarding your dose and how to inject Lantus 100IU/ml Injection. Do not change your dose or stop using this medication without consulting your healthcare provider first.

  • Inject Lantus 100IU/ml Injection under the skin (subcutaneously) of your thigh, upper arm, or abdomen.
  • Never inject this medication into a vein or a muscle, as this can cause the insulin to act too quickly and lead to dangerously low blood sugar.
  • Rotate your injection site with every dose to prevent skin changes, such as lumps or thinning of the fat under the skin.
  • Do not mix Lantus 100IU/ml Injection in the same syringe with any other insulin, and do not dilute it with other liquids.

How Lantus 100IU/ml Injection Works

Lantus 100IU/ml Injection contains insulin glargine. It works by mimicking the natural, steady background release of insulin that a healthy pancreas normally provides. Once injected under the skin, the solution forms micro-crystals in the fatty tissue. These crystals dissolve very slowly over time, releasing a constant, low level of insulin into your bloodstream over 24 hours. Once in your blood, the insulin acts like a key that allows your body's cells to absorb sugar (glucose) from your bloodstream to use for energy. At the same time, it stops your liver from producing and releasing excess sugar into your blood, keeping your overall blood glucose levels stable and within a safe range.

Your doctor may need to evaluate the dosage, timing, food habits, injection technique, stress, infection, or lack of exercise if your blood sugar remains uncontrolled even after using NovoRapid and Lantus. Increasing insulin on your own can result in serious periods of low blood sugar, so avoid doing so. Try to take insulin precisely at the recommended time, stay away from sugary drinks and sweets, cut back on excess rice or refined foods, go for regular walks, and periodically check your blood sugar. In order to safely modify the insulin plan and perhaps examine HbA1c, diet, and other health conditions impacting control, it is crucial to see your diabetologist as soon as possible with your blood sugar readings.

FAQs

Lantus 100IU/ml Injection is used to treat type 1 diabetes in adults and children and type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults.
Lantus 100IU/ml Injection works by replacing the insulin that is normally produced by the body. It helps move sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is used for energy. Lantus 100IU/ml Injection also prevents the liver from producing more sugar.
Lantus 100IU/ml Injection should be stored in a refrigerator (2°C-8°C). Do not freeze.
Type-2 diabetes generally does not affect healthy children and teens, but it may affect children who are obese, which is also known as Childhood Obesity.
Cut back on foods high in sodium, alcohol, fried foods, and high-carb food and drinks like sugary drinks, drinks with added sugar, white rice and starchy vegetables.
Lantus 100IU/ml Injection should not be discontinued without a doctor's consultation as stopping Lantus 100IU/ml Injection may cause severe hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) and ketoacidosis (buildup of acid in the blood). Consult the doctor if you feel uncomfortable after taking Lantus 100IU/ml Injection.
The injection site should be changed to prevent skin changes like lumps under the skin. Lantus 100IU/ml Injection may not work well if injected into the lumpy area.
Maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly. Limit sugar intake and avoid smoking & alcohol consumption. Manage stress by doing meditation or yoga.
Hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) may occur because you inject too much insulin, miss or delay meals, do not eat enough, eat food containing less carbohydrate than normal, drink alcohol, lose carbohydrates due to vomiting or diarrhoea, do more exercise than usual or a different type of physical activity, are recovering from an injury, illness, operation or stress, or are taking/have stopped taking other medicines.
Lantus 100IU/ml Injection contains insulin glargine, a modified insulin which is very similar to human insulin.
Check the label for directions and use Lantus 100IU/ml Injection as advised by the doctor. Talk to the doctor if you have any concerns. Fill the injection with the appropriate dose. Pick the injection site and wipe it with an alcohol swab. Now, pinch up the skin, inject the needle into the skin and then push the plunger in. After injecting the insulin, pull out the needle and dispose of the syringe safely.
Lantus 100IU/ml Injection should be used only as prescribed by the doctor. The doctor will recommend the dose and duration based on your condition.
Using more than the prescribed dose of Lantus 100IU/ml Injection may cause hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar). Monitor blood glucose levels and consult the doctor if the blood sugar levels are low.
The dose of Lantus 100IU/ml Injection may need to be changed based on your blood sugar levels, lifestyle conditions, if are taking certain other medicines, during pregnancy, after giving birth, and breastfeeding.
Serious side effects of Lantus 100IU/ml Injection include severe allergic reactions (rash/itching all over the body, severe swelling of skin or mucous membrane, shortness of breath, a fall in blood pressure with rapid heartbeat and sweating) and hypoglycaemia (thirst, tiredness, increased urge to urinate, tiredness, fast heartbeat, and low blood pressure). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience these symptoms.
Lantus 100IU/ml Injection can be given to treat both the conditions of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, your doctor will decide whether Lantus 100IU/ml Injection can be given to you or not, depending on your present condition. Lantus 100IU/ml Injection should be avoided in patients who are allergic to Lantus 100IU/ml Injection or other forms of insulin. It should be avoided in patients suffering from low potassium level (hypokalemia), moderate to severe kidney disease or liver disease. Inform the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
No. You must never mix Lantus 100IU/ml Injection with any other insulin or liquid in the same syringe. Mixing it can change how the medication is absorbed, preventing it from working correctly and potentially causing dangerous blood sugar fluctuations. Talk to your doctor if you require multiple types of insulin.
You should inject Lantus 100IU/ml Injection once a day, at the exact same time every day. Your doctor will help you decide whether a morning or evening injection fits your lifestyle and treatment needs best. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you need help establishing a routine.
If you experience symptoms of low blood sugar and are able to swallow safely, consume 15 grams of fast-acting sugar immediately, such as a half-cup of fruit juice, three glucose tablets, or a few hard candies. Wait 15 minutes, check your blood sugar again, and repeat if it is still too low. Talk to your doctor if you experience frequent low blood sugar episodes.
Yes, you can travel with your medication. Keep unopened vials or pens cool by using an insulated travel bag with cold packs, making sure they do not touch ice directly to prevent freezing. Always carry your active, in-use pen or vial in your hand luggage rather than checked baggage to protect it from extreme temperature changes in the cargo hold. Talk to your doctor for a travel letter if needed.
No, you do not need to eat a meal immediately after injecting Lantus 100IU/ml Injection because it is a long-acting insulin that provides a steady, continuous release over 24 hours. However, you must still maintain your regular, scheduled meals throughout the day to keep your blood sugar balanced. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about how to align your meals with your injection.
No. If your medication has been frozen, even if it has thawed out, you must discard it immediately. Freezing damages the structure of the medicine, making it ineffective and unsafe for controlling your blood sugar. Always store your medication in the main compartment of the refrigerator, away from the freezer element.
Injecting this medication into a muscle can cause your body to absorb the medicine much faster than intended. This can lead to a sudden, severe drop in your blood sugar. Monitor your blood sugar levels closely, keep fast-acting sugar nearby, and seek medical help if your blood sugar drops dangerously low. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure about proper injection techniques.
Keeping your blood sugar well-controlled is highly important during pregnancy for both you and your baby. Lantus 100IU/ml Injection is commonly used during pregnancy, but your insulin requirements may change significantly during this time. Talk to your doctor to discuss how to adjust your dose and safely manage your blood sugar throughout your pregnancy.
