Hur många enheter Lantus?

10 enheter Lantus en gång om dagen, men individuella behov styr. Lantus kan tas vid valfri tid på dygnet, vid en tidpunkt som passar patienten. Lantus ska tas vid samma tidpunkt varje dag. Det är viktigt att titrera upp dosen.

Vad avgör halveringstiden?

Ett radioaktivt grundämne sönderfaller i en hastighet som är unik för just den isotopen. Begreppet halveringstid används för att kunna jämföra hastigheten i olika sönderfall. Halveringstid mäter hur lång tid det tar för att hälften av ett ursprungligt ämne ska sönderfalla.

What should I know about Lantus before taking it?

Tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergic reaction to any type of insulin before you start using Lantus. Children are especially sensitive to the effects of insulin, particularly around puberty. There are so many different types of insulin that medication errors are common.

What is a prefilled pen of Lantus?

Lantus is a long-acting insulin that only needs to be injected once a day, subcutaneously. It is available as a prefilled pen (Lantus Solostar) or a 10mL vial. Hypoglycemia is the most common side effect and it cannot be given IV, IM, or by an infusion pump.

What is the solubility of Lantus insulin?

Lantus was formulated to have a low insulin solubility at neutral pH which means it forms microprecipitates when injected under the skin (subcutaneously), which allows the insulin to be released slowly from the injection site.

What is the difference between Lantus and Humalog?

Lantus (insulin glargine [rdna origin]) and Humalog (insulin lispro [rDNA origin]) are both forms of insulin used to treat type 1 (insulin-dependent) or type 2 (non insulin-dependent) diabetes. A difference is that Humalog is usually given together with another long-acting insulin.
