Lantus Injection contains insulin glargine as its active ingredient.

Insulin glargine works by:

• Replacing the insulin that is normally produced by the body
• Facilitating the movement of sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is used for energy
• Preventing the liver from producing more sugar

By allowing blood sugar to enter cells, insulin glargine provides energy for various activities. It helps maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day due to its long-acting nature.
