Product Overview

Toujeo 300U/ml Solution for Injection is a long-acting insulin used to manage type 1 and type 2 diabetes in adults and children. It provides a steady release of insulin throughout the day, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.

This insulin may be prescribed alone or alongside rapid-acting insulin or other diabetes medications. Your healthcare provider will demonstrate the correct method for injecting it under the skin. Regular use according to the prescribed dosage is essential for effective blood sugar control. Discontinuing treatment without medical guidance may cause dangerously high blood sugar levels. Toujeo should be used as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan, including a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management as advised by your doctor.

Side Effects

The most common side effect of Toujeo is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). To minimize this risk, it is important to follow your prescribed dosage, maintain regular meal times, and monitor your blood sugar frequently. Excessive alcohol intake may also lower blood sugar. Other possible side effects include:

Swelling (edema)

Injection site reactions (redness, pain, or swelling)

Lipodystrophy (skin thickening or indentations at injection site)

Allergic reactions

Rash or itching

Weight gain

Usage Precautions

Do not use Toujeo if your blood sugar is low. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have any kidney, liver, or heart conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this insulin.

Uses

Management of type 1 and type 2 diabetes

Helps maintain stable blood glucose levels

Benefits

Toujeo is a synthetic form of insulin that mimics the insulin naturally produced by the body. It enables glucose to enter cells for energy, helping to control high blood sugar levels. Regular use, combined with diet and exercise, supports overall health and lowers the risk of diabetes-related complications such as kidney damage, vision problems, neuropathy, and limb loss.

How It Works

Toujeo 300U/ml is a long-acting insulin that provides steady, all-day blood sugar control. It functions like natural insulin by:

Moving glucose from the blood into muscles and fat cells for energy

Reducing glucose production in the liver

How to Use

Your doctor or nurse will instruct you on proper injection techniques. Follow their guidance carefully to ensure safe and effective use. Rotate injection sites and avoid areas with redness, bruising, or hardness.
