Composition of Basaglar Cartridges

Uses of Basaglar Cartridges
Treatment of diabetes mellitus to improve glycaemic control: type 1 diabetes (as basal insulin with mealtime insulin) and type 2 diabetes (alone or with other antidiabetic medicines)
Benefits of Basaglar Cartridges
- In Type 1 diabetes
- Basaglar Cartridges replaces the insulin a type 1 pancreas no longer makes. It is what allows the body to use food for energy, and keeping sugar in range with it prevents both the immediate danger of very high sugar and the long-term damage to eyes, kidneys and nerves.
- In Type 2 diabetes
- Basaglar Cartridges brings blood sugar down when tablets alone no longer keep it in range, protecting the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart from the damage of long-standing high sugar.
How Basaglar Cartridges works
Insulin glargine is a long-acting basal insulin analogue. After subcutaneous injection it forms microprecipitates that release insulin slowly and steadily over ~24 hours, lowering blood glucose by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and reducing hepatic glucose production.
How to take Basaglar Cartridges
For subcutaneous injection only using a compatible insulin pen for cartridges. Inject once daily at the same time each day into abdomen, thigh, or upper arm; rotate injection sites. Do not dilute or mix with other insulins in the same syringe. Dose is individualised based on blood glucose; follow physician advice. Not for IV use or insulin pump.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
Contact your doctor or diabetes nurse for advice — do not take a double dose to make up for a missed injection.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can cause severe low blood sugar, leading to fits or unconsciousness — this is a medical emergency. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

- Hypoglycaemia
- injection site reactions (pain/redness/swelling/itching)
- lipodystrophy
- weight gain
