WHAT SULIQUA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Suliqua is an injectable diabetes medicine that contains two active
substances:
•
insulin glargine: a long-acting type of insulin which helps control
blood sugar (glucose)
throughout the day.
•
lixisenatide: a “GLP-1 analogue” that helps the body produce its
own additional insulin in
response to increases in blood sugar, and slows the absorption of
sugar from foods.
Suliqua is used to treat adults with type 2 diabetes, to help control
blood sugar levels when they are
too high, it is an adjunct to diet and exercise. It is given, with
metformin with or without sodium-
glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors (gliflozin products), when
other medicines are not enough
on their own to control your blood sugar levels.
