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
analog.
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.
3) BEFORE YOU USE BASALOG
®
_When you must not use it _
•
If
you
are
allergic (hypersensitive)
to
insulin
glargine
or
any
of
the
other
ingredients of BASALOG
®
(see section
8 for a full list of ingredients). Watch out
for the signs of allergy in section 6 (side
effects)
or
ask
your
doctor
for
clarification.

If
you
experience
symptoms of low
