WHAT LUSDUNA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
LUSDUNA contains insulin glargine. This is a modified insulin, very
similar to human insulin.
LUSDUNA is used to treat diabetes mellitus in adults, adolescents and
children aged 2 years and
above.
Diabetes mellitus is a disease where your body does not produce enough
insulin to control the level of
blood sugar. Insulin glargine has a long and steady
blood-sugar-lowering action.

prolonged duration of action.
LUSDUNA should be administered once daily at any time but at the same

Special populations
_Elderly population (≥ 65 years old)_
In the elderly, progressive deterioration of renal function may lead
to a steady decrease in insulin
requirements.
_Renal impairment_
In patients with renal impairment, insulin requirements may be
diminished due to reduced insulin
metabolism.
