Toujeo Solostar Injection 300 Iu/ml 1.5ml Pen

Product Description

Toujeo 300 U/mL Solostar is a long-acting insulin specifically formulated to manage type 1 and type 2 diabetes in both adults and children. It delivers a steady release of insulin throughout the day, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications such as kidney, nerve, or eye damage.

This insulin can be prescribed alone or alongside fast-acting insulin or other antidiabetic medications. A healthcare professional will demonstrate the correct subcutaneous injection technique to ensure accurate dosing. Consistent use as advised is crucial for effective blood sugar management. Stopping treatment abruptly can cause dangerous spikes in blood glucose, increasing the risk of serious complications. Optimal diabetes management should also include a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and weight control as recommended by your doctor.

• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)

• Swelling (edema)

• Injection site reactions such as redness, pain, or swelling

  Most side effects are temporary and tend to resolve as the body adjusts. Regular blood glucose monitoring and adhering to the prescribed dose reduce the risk of hypoglycemia and other complications.
