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.

LUSDUNA contains insulin glargine, an insulin analogue, and has a
prolonged duration of action.
LUSDUNA should be administered once daily at any time but at the same

mellitus, LUSDUNA can also be given together with oral antidiabetic
medicinal products.
The potency of this medicinal product is stated in units. These units
are exclusive to insulin glargine
and are not the same as IU or the units used to express the potency of
other insulin analogues (see
section 5.1).
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.
