LANTUS® SoloSTAR®: An Easy-to-Use Pen²⁴

LANTUS® is indicated for once-daily subcutaneous administration, at the same time each day, for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients (6 years and older) with type 1 diabetes mellitus or adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who require basal (long-acting) insulin for the control of hyperglycemia.

LANTUS® SoloSTAR® is a disposable prefilled insulin pen. Needles and the Lantus® SoloSTAR® pen must not be shared.

LANTUS® MUST NOT BE DILUTED OR MIXED WITH ANY OTHER INSULIN OR SOLUTION. If mixed or diluted, the solution may become cloudy, and the onset of action/time to peak effect may be altered in an unpredictable manner.

LANTUS® is contraindicated in patients hypersensitive to insulin glargine or the excipients.

Hypoglycemia is the most common adverse effect of insulin, including LANTUS®. As with all insulins, the timing of hypoglycemia may differ among various insulin formulations. Glucose monitoring is recommended for all patients with diabetes. Any change of insulin type and/or regimen should be made cautiously and only under medical supervision. Concomitant oral antidiabetes treatment may need to be adjusted.

Other adverse events commonly associated with LANTUS® include the following: lipodystrophy, skin reactions (such as injection-site reaction, pruritus, rash), and allergic reactions.
