Product Overview

Soliqua Solostar Solution for Injection is designed to support adults living with type 2 diabetes mellitus. When used alongside a balanced diet and regular physical activity, it helps in lowering blood sugar levels and achieving better glycemic control.

For optimal results, it is important to take this medication consistently as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Stopping treatment without consulting your doctor may lead to elevated blood sugar levels, increasing the risk of complications. This medication should be part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan, which includes proper nutrition, exercise, and weight management as advised by your doctor.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects of Soliqua include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), nausea, sore throat, diarrhea, upper respiratory infections, and headache. These side effects are often temporary and may not require medical intervention. However, maintaining proper dosing, eating at regular intervals, and regularly checking blood sugar levels can help prevent these effects. Excessive alcohol intake may also lower blood sugar and should be avoided.

Do not use this medication if your blood sugar is already low. Before starting treatment, it’s essential to inform your doctor if you have any kidney, liver, or heart conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their healthcare provider prior to use.

Uses

Management of Type 2 Diabetes:
Soliqua is used to treat adults with type 2 diabetes, helping to manage blood sugar levels effectively when combined with lifestyle changes.

Benefits

Soliqua Solostar is a combination therapy that includes man-made insulin to regulate high blood sugar. It replaces the insulin naturally produced by the body, allowing glucose to enter the cells for energy. Additionally, it encourages insulin release when blood sugar is elevated, while reducing glucose production by the liver. Controlling blood sugar levels helps lower the risk of complications such as kidney disease, vision problems, nerve damage, and limb loss. Regular use, alongside diet and exercise, supports a healthy, active lifestyle.

How It Works

Soliqua combines two medications to improve blood sugar management.

Insulin glargine substitutes for the insulin that the body normally produces, facilitating the transfer of glucose from the bloodstream into tissues where it’s used for energy. It also prevents the liver from making excess sugar.

Lixisenatide boosts insulin secretion when blood sugar levels are high and slows stomach emptying, which helps control appetite.

Together, these ingredients enhance blood sugar control, providing energy while minimizing sugar spikes.
