Toujeo 300U/ml Solution for Injection

Product Description

Toujeo 300U/ml Solution for Injection (1.5ml Each) is a long-acting insulin designed to manage type 1 and type 2 diabetes in adults and children. It provides consistent insulin levels throughout the day, helping to regulate blood sugar effectively and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications such as nerve, kidney, or eye damage.

This insulin can be used alone or alongside rapid-acting insulin or other antidiabetic medications. Your healthcare provider will demonstrate the correct technique for subcutaneous injection to ensure accurate dosing. Regular use, as prescribed, is essential for maintaining stable blood sugar levels. Stopping treatment abruptly can cause dangerous spikes in blood glucose, increasing the risk of severe complications. Alongside insulin therapy, following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and managing weight are critical components of your diabetes care plan.

Common Side Effects

• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)

• Swelling (edema)

• Injection site reactions including redness, pain, or swelling

  Most side effects are temporary and generally subside as your body adjusts. Frequent blood glucose monitoring and adherence to dosing instructions help prevent complications like hypoglycemia.

Important Precautions

Do not use Toujeo 300U/ml Solution for Injection during hypoglycemia. Consult your doctor if you have kidney, liver, or heart conditions before starting treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this insulin. Avoid alcohol as it can lower blood sugar and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
