In rare cases, a patient may be allergic to an insulin product. Severe insulin allergies may be life-threatening. If you think you have an allergic reaction, seek medical help immediately. Signs of insulin allergy include rashes all over your body,  shortness of breath, wheezing (trouble breathing), palpitations (rapid heartbeat), sweating, low blood pressure.

The active ingredient in Basaglar is insulin glargine (rDNA origin).  The nonmedicinal ingredients in the 3 mL cartridges and KwikPen are glycerin, m-cresol, zinc oxide, and water for injection. Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide are added for pH adjustment.

If you experience a severe allergic reaction, please visit your nearest healthcare facility.

Insulin glargine may be used along with other short-acting insulin products and other diabetes medications.

It’s essential to read the leaflet, which comes with the Basaglar Kwikpen U-100 insulin pen, or speak to your pharmacist before starting using it. If you have any questions, you shouldn’t hesitate to talk to your pharmacist, nurse, doctor, or diabetes educator.

Your dosage should be advised by your doctor based on your health and condition.

It’s essential to measure each dose carefully as directed by your doctor. Even the slightest change in the amount of insulin can harm your blood sugar levels.

Clean the skin with a swab and alcohol before injecting insulin.

Medication should be injected under the skin (subcutaneously) of the abdomen, thigh, or upper arms once daily or as advised by your doctor.

Insulin glargine can be used once daily, any time of the day, before meals. Try to keep application during the same time every day, such as before breakfast or dinner time.

Carefully follow your doctor’s instructions, diet, exercise program, and treatment plan to ensure the best results.

If you have missed a dose of Basaglar or if you have not injected enough insulin, your blood sugar level may become too high (hyperglycemia). Check your blood sugar frequently. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose, as this may lead to an overdose (see next tab). 

If you have injected too much Basaglar, your blood sugar level may become too low (hypoglycemia). Check your blood sugar frequently. In general, to prevent hypoglycemia, you must eat more food and monitor your blood sugar.

Hypoglycemia may occur due to an excess of insulin relative to food intake, energy expenditure, or both.

In case of a drug overdose, contact a healthcare professional, hospital emergency department, or regional Poison Control Centre immediately, even if there are no symptoms.

If you are planning to have a baby, are pregnant, or are nursing a baby, consult your doctor. Good control of diabetes is especially important for you and your unborn baby. Pregnancy may make managing your diabetes more difficult.

Unopened Basaglar cartridges or KwikPens should be stored in a refrigerator, between 2°C – 8°C. Keep Basaglar away from direct heat and light. Basaglar should not be stored in the freezer and should not be allowed to freeze. If Basaglar freezes, discard it.

When your sharps disposal container is almost full, you will need to follow your community guidelines for the right way to dispose of your sharps disposal container. There may be state or local laws about how you should throw away used needles and syringes.

Do not dispose of your used sharps disposal container in your household trash unless your community guidelines permit this. Do not recycle your used sharps disposal container.
