BASALOG REFIL (CARTIDGE) (Insulin Glargine (100IU/ml))

Basalog Refill Injection is a long-duration insulin formulation designed to manage type 1 and type 2 diabetes in both adult and pediatric patients. This medication ensures a consistent insulin level within the bloodstream for a full day, assisting in the regulation of blood sugar levels, thereby helping in the prevention of diabetes-related complications. It may be prescribed on its own or alongside rapid-acting insulin or other antidiabetic medications. Proper administration techniques will be provided by your healthcare professional, who will guide you on how to effectively inject the medication subcutaneously. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage to attain optimal therapeutic outcomes. Discontinuing the medication can lead to significantly elevated blood sugar levels, heightening the risk of severe complications. This insulin therapy is part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan, which should also include a balanced diet, consistent physical activity, and weight management as per your healthcare provider’s recommendations. While the most frequently encountered side effect is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), it is essential to administer the correct dose, maintain regular meal patterns, and routinely monitor blood sugar levels to mitigate this risk. Excessive alcohol intake can exacerbate hypoglycemia. Other potential side effects may include swelling in the extremities, changes in skin texture at injection sites, allergic reactions, localized pain or irritation, itching, rashes, and possible weight gain.
