Lantus Solostar 100 IU/ml Injection contains Glargine (100 IU) which works on your body in the following ways:

• Stimulates Peripheral Glucose Uptake: Glargine increases the absorption of glucose from the bloodstream into peripheral tissues, such as skeletal muscle and fat. This helps lower blood glucose levels.
• Inhibits Hepatic Glucose Production: Glargine reduces the production of glucose in the liver, further assisting in maintaining optimal blood sugar levels.
• Regulates Lipolysis and Proteolysis: The process of breaking down fats (lipolysis) and proteins (proteolysis) is slowed down by glargine, supporting metabolic stability.
• Enhances Protein Synthesis: Glargine boosts the production of proteins in your body which is beneficial for cell growth and repair.

• Store your Lantus Solostar 100 IU/ml Injection in a refrigerator set to 2°C to 8°C.
