About GLARITUS DISPOPEN
- GLARITUS DISPOPEN, also known by its brand name Lantus, is a long-acting insulin medication used to manage diabetes mellitus. It is a <RECOMBINANTHUMAN>insulin analog that provides a steady release of insulin, mimicking the natural basal insulin secretion of the body. It is primarily prescribed for individuals with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes who require insulin therapy to control their blood sugar levels. GLARITUS DISPOPENHElps maintain a stable blood glucose level throughout the day and night, reducing the risk of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia.
Uses of GLARITUS DISPOPEN
- Helps in managing diabetes
- Used to control blood sugar levels
- Provides basal insulin support
- Maintains stable glucose levels
- Reduces hyperglycemia risk
- Minimizes hypoglycemia episodes
How GLARITUS DISPOPEN Works
- GLARITUS DISPOPEN works by providing a steady, long-acting release of insulin that helps regulate blood sugar levels throughout the day and night, providing basal insulin support for individuals with diabetes.
- GLARITUS DISPOPEN functions as a synthetic long-acting basal insulin analog. Its structure has been modified to prolong its action, resulting in a gradual and steady release of insulin. When injected subcutaneously, GLARITUS DISPOPENforms microprecipitates in the tissue, allowing for slow absorption and continuous release of insulin over an extended period (up to 24 hours). This sustained release mimics the basal insulin secretion normally produced by the pancreas in non-diabetic individuals. By providing a constant supply of insulin, GLARITUS DISPOPENHElps regulate blood glucose levels, reducing the risk of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and maintaining glycemic control throughout the day and night.
Dosage of GLARITUS DISPOPEN Works
- Dosage for Children: The dosage of GLARITUS DISPOPEN for children should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the child's individual needs, weight, and blood sugar levels.
- Dosage for Adults: The initial dosage of GLARITUS DISPOPENfor adults with type 2 diabetes is typically 10 units or 0.2 units/kg, adjusted according to the patient's response. For individuals with type 1 diabetes or those who require higher insulin doses, the initial dosage may vary, and it is best determined by a healthcare professional.
