1.
WHAT TOUJEO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Toujeo contains insulin called “insulin glargine”. This is a
modified insulin, very similar to human
insulin.
Toujeo contains 3 times more insulin in 1 ml than standard insulin,
which contains 100 unit/ml.
It is used to treat diabetes mellitus in adults, adolescents and
children from the age of 6 years. Diabetes
mellitus is an illness where your body does not make enough insulin to
control your blood sugar.
Toujeo lowers your blood sugar steadily over a long period of time. It
is used for once daily dosing.
You can change the time of your injection if you need to. This is
because this medicine lowers your
blood sugar over a long period of time (for more information, see
section 3).

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
Toujeo is a basal insulin for once-daily administration at any time of
the day, preferably at the same
time every day.
The dose regimen (dose and timing) should be adjusted according to
individual response.
In type 1 diabetes mellitus, Toujeo must be combined with
short-/rapid-acting insulin to cover
mealtime insulin requirements.
In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, Toujeo can also be given
together with other
anti-hyperglycaemic medicinal products.
The potency of this medicinal product is stated in units. These units
are exclusive to Toujeo and are
not the same as IU or the units used to express the potency of other
insulin analogues (see section 5.1).
_Flexibility in dosing time _
_ _
When needed, patients can administer Toujeo up to 3 hours before or
after their usual time of
administration (see section 5.1).
_ _
3
Patients who forget a dose, should be advised to check their blood
sugar and then resume their usual
once-daily dosing schedule. Patients should be informed not to inject
a double dose to make up for a
forgotten dose.
