1) WHAT BASALOG
®
IS USED FOR
BASALOG
®
(insulin glargine [recombinant
DNA
origin])
is long-acting
insulin.
Because
BASALOG
®
is
made
by
recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology and
is chemically different from the insulin
made by
the human body; it is called an
insulin analogue. BASALOG
®
is used to
reduce
high
blood
sugar
in
adults,
adolescents and children of 2 years or
above
with diabetes mellitus. Diabetes
mellitus is
a
condition
in
which a person
has
high
blood
sugar,
either
because
the
pancreas
does
not produce
enough insulin
or the
cells do not respond to the insulin
that is
produced. Extra insulin is therefore
needed
to lower your blood sugar level
after the
injection. Insulin glargine has a
long and
steady blood-sugar-lowering
action.
2
) HOW BASALOG
®
WORKS
Insulin glargine is a human insulin
analogue
designed to have low solubility at
a neutral
pH. It is completely soluble at the
acidic
pH of the
injection solution (pH
4).
After
injection
into
subcutaneous
tissue,
the
acidic
solution
is
neutralised
leading
to
formation of micro-precipitates from which
small
amounts
of
insulin
glargine
are
continuously released, providing a smooth,
peakless,
predictable
concentration/time
profile with a prolonged duration of action.
