How it works:
Faq for medicine:
A: No, Basugine, whose action is steady and prolonged, has a relatively constant concentration time profile over 24 hours with no peaks
Q: Does Basugine/ Lantus insulin come in a pen?
A: Yes, Basugine is available in a pen style formulation
Q: Is Basugine/ Lantus insulin long acting?
A: Yes, Basugine has a relatively constant concentration time profile over 24 hours hence it is long acting
Q: How does Basugine work?
A: Basugine is modified artificially prepared insulin (equivalent to human insulin) which is completely soluble in acidic pH of the glargine solution. Basugine acts by replacing the normal production of insulin and by helping transfer sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is utilized to generate energy. It also stops the liver from producing more sugar. After the injection of Basugine into the subcutaneous tissue (upper layer of skin), the acidic solution is neutralized leading to formation of micro particles (micro-precipitates) from which small amounts of Basugine are continuously released, providing a prolonged duration of action of insulin. Basugine solutions have long and steady blood-sugar-lowering action
Q: How much does Basugine cost?
A: The cost of Basugine depends upon the various brands available in the market. Please read details on the package for the correct price of the produc
Q: Does Basugine/ Lantus insulin need to be refrigerated?

Q: How is Basugine/ Lantus made?
A: Basugine.Lantus is produced by recombinant DNA technology with the help of a non-pathogenic (non-disease causing) laboratory strain of bacteria (Escherichia coli [K12]) as the production organism
Q: Is Lantus insulin (insulin glargine) the same as Levemir (insulin detemir)?
A: Both Lantus and Levemir are both long lasting forms of insulin (made by recombinant DNA technology) and are similar to human insulin. However, the duration of Levemir is slightly shorter than Lantus
Q: Is Basugine/ Lantus clear or cloudy?
A: Basugine. Lantus solutions should be clear. Do not use if Basugine preparations is no longer clear and colorless or if it contains particles.
