What is Basalog 100 used for?

Management of diabetes mellitus to improve glycaemic control in adults and children where basal (long-acting) insulin is required; Type 1 diabetes (with short/rapid-acting insulin) and Type 2 diabetes (alone or with oral antidiabetics/other insulin).

How Basalog 100 Works

Insulin glargine is a long-acting basal insulin analogue. After subcutaneous injection it forms microprecipitates that slowly release insulin, providing a relatively constant glucose-lowering effect over ~24 hours by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and reducing hepatic glucose production.

Dosage & Directions

For subcutaneous use only. Inject once daily at the same time each day into abdomen, thigh or upper arm; rotate injection sites. Use as prescribed based on blood glucose; do not dilute or mix with other insulins in the same syringe/pen. Check label and appearance before use; never inject intravenously.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.

Key Benefits

Provides 24-hour basal insulin coverage
Helps control fasting blood glucose
Reduces HbA1c with regular use
Once-daily dosing convenience
Suitable for Type 1 (with bolus insulin) and Type 2 diabetes

Pregnancy

Consult doctor (often used when clinically needed; dose adjustments and close monitoring required)

Alcohol Interaction

Use with caution (may cause unpredictable blood glucose changes and increase hypoglycaemia risk)
