What is Toujeo 300U/ML Cartridge Inj used for?

Treatment of diabetes mellitus to improve glycaemic control in adults; used as a long-acting (basal) insulin in type 1 diabetes (with mealtime insulin) and type 2 diabetes (alone or with other antidiabetic medicines) as prescribed.

How Toujeo 300U/ML Cartridge Inj Works

Insulin glargine is a long-acting insulin analogue. After subcutaneous injection, it forms a depot in the tissue and is slowly released, providing a steady basal insulin level that lowers blood glucose 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 (as advised by the doctor) into abdomen, thigh or upper arm; rotate injection sites. Do not inject into a vein or muscle and do not mix/dilute with other insulins. Follow prescribed dose and titration based on blood glucose; use the compatible insulin pen/device for Toujeo cartridges as instructed.

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

Key Benefits

Provides 24-hour basal insulin coverage
Helps control fasting blood glucose
Once-daily dosing for many patients
Reduces risk of hyperglycaemia when used regularly
Supports overall HbA1c control as part of diabetes management

Pregnancy

Consult doctor (insulin is commonly used in pregnancy; dose adjustments and close monitoring required)

Alcohol Interaction

Use with caution (may increase risk of hypoglycaemia)
