How undefined Works
- LANTUS PENFILL 3 ML 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.
- LANTUS PENFILL 3 ML 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, LANTUS PENFILL 3 MLforms 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, LANTUS PENFILL 3 MLHElps regulate blood glucose levels, reducing the risk of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and maintaining glycemic control throughout the day and night.
