What is TOUJEO 450 IU used for?

Treatment of diabetes mellitus to improve glycaemic control in adults; also used in children/adolescents as per clinician advice depending on approved local labeling. Used as long-acting (basal) insulin in type 1 diabetes (with mealtime insulin) and type 2 diabetes.

How TOUJEO 450 IU Works

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

Dosage & Directions

For subcutaneous injection only using the Toujeo pen. Inject once daily at the same time each day into abdomen, thigh, or upper arm; rotate injection sites. Use as directed by a doctor; do not share pen/needles. Do not dilute or mix with other insulins; not for IV use.

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

Key Benefits

Provides long-acting basal glucose control
Helps reduce fasting blood sugar
Once-daily dosing for many patients
Lower day-to-day variability vs some basal insulins
Supports overall HbA1c improvement when used with diet/exercise and other therapy

Pregnancy

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

Alcohol Interaction

Use with caution (may increase risk of hypoglycaemia)
