Basaglar was approved by the FDA in 2016 to treat both children and adults with type 1 diabetes or adult patients with type 2 diabetes. Basaglar is one of two long-acting insulin products that were approved at the same time. The other is Lantus (insulin glargine).

In One Sentence: Basaglar (insulin glargine) is a long-acting insulin that works throughout the day to help control blood sugar levels.

Basaglar (insulin glargine) is a basal insulin that lowers blood sugar levels between meals and overnight. Basal insulins work throughout the day to help control your blood sugar level.

Basaglar is also used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus, in combination with other medicines. This medication must be injected under the skin, usually twice daily or once daily at bedtime.

Basaglar is a long-lasting insulin that is used to treat diabetes in children and adults. Basaglar keeps blood sugar levels low by allowing the body to use its own insulin more effectively. It may also slow or reduce the loss of kidney function over time, which can be a consequence of diabetes.

Basaglar helps control blood sugar (glucose) levels in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Quick Facts:

Action: Basaglar is a basal insulin, which lowers blood sugar levels between meals and overnight throughout the day. Basaglar can also be used in combination with mealtime insulin.

Basaglar is a basal insulin, which lowers blood sugar levels between meals and overnight throughout the day. Basaglar can also be used in combination with mealtime insulin.

Basaglar is a long-acting insulin that works by lowering blood glucose (sugar) levels after eating. It replaces the natural hormone that your body no longer makes as you age or if you are born without it. Basaglar (insulin glargine injection) is given once daily and starts to work within 30 minutes to 3 hours after an injection, depending on your dosing schedule and how much food you eat before taking this medication.

Side effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), allergic reactions, injection site reactions, lipodystrophy, rash and itching.

If you have diabetes and take Basaglar to manage your disease, it’s important to monitor your blood glucose closely. Your doctor may ask you to test your blood sugar levels at different times of the day and night to see how they respond to Basaglar therapy. If you experience symptoms of low blood sugar (such as sudden sweating; rapid heartbeat; feeling like you are going crazy or having a panic attack; confusion; trouble speaking clearly; nausea or vomiting), contact your doctor right away or go directly to the nearest hospital emergency room.

Very similar to Lantus with similar side effects

Basaglar is very similar to Lantus in that it has the same type of delivery mechanism and has the same side effects. The only difference is that Basaglar has a lower cost because it’s newer to the market and there are fewer generic options available yet.

The recommended dosage for Basaglar is also similar: 1 to 2 units once daily; however, some people may need more or less insulin depending on their body size and weight. If you’re new to using an insulin pen, talk with your doctor about how many units of Basaglar are right for you based on your age and any other health conditions you have (such as obesity).

As far as cost goes, plans differ from one company to another but overall costs will be about $50/month if you pay out-of-pocket rather than getting insurance coverage through your employer or government program like Medicare Part D or Medicaid programs in certain states like Florida where they have covering diabetes medications covered 100%.

If your insurance covers basal insulins such as Lantus (which it probably does), then this might not save much money over going with that instead since both brands work just fine (and even better) when used correctly accordingTo WebMD magazine.”

Breo Ellipta is a prescription medication used to prevent asthma attacks and to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in people 18 years of age and older. Breo Ellipta is available as an inhaler that you breathe in through the mouth using the Breo Ellipta inhaler device. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your doctor. The most common side effects with Breo Ellipta are sinus infection, sore throat, dry mouth, headache, and muscle pain or cramps. Breo Ellipta is an inhaler that combines two medicines: fluticasone furoate and vilanterol. Breo Ellipta is an inhaler that combines two medicines: fluticasone furoate and vilanterol. Fluticasone furoate is a corticosteroid, which helps to control inflammation in your airways. Vilanterol is a bronchodilator, which helps to widen the airways in your lungs. Fluticasone furoate is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the lungs. Fluticasone furoate is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the lungs. It is used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Fluticasone furoate is a long-term medication, which means you need to take it every day for your condition to stay under control. You may not notice any changes after you start taking fluticasone furoate until your symptoms start getting better. You will likely need this medicine for several months before it works well enough for you to feel safe without needing an inhaler or rescue medicine for asthma attacks. Vilanterol is a bronchodilator that works by relaxing the muscles surrounding the airways, thereby widening them. Breo Ellipta is a long-acting bronchodilator, used to treat COPD and asthma. It works by relaxing the muscles surrounding the airways, thereby widening them. This allows more air to flow into your lungs, and helps you breathe more easily. The medicine should be administered once daily via a dry powder inhaler (DPI) device that contains 200µg of vilanterol tartrate or 100µg of fluticasone furoate monohydrate in each dose. The DPI device should be used every day at approximately the same time each morning with or without food for maximum efficacy and to avoid side effects such as coughing and throat irritation from using it too much. This medication should not be used to treat sudden asthma attacks or COPD flare ups. Breo Ellipta should not be used to treat sudden asthma attacks or COPD flare ups. If you have sudden symptoms of asthma, see your doctor right away. This medication can be taken with other medications that help control breathing problems like corticosteroids (e.g., budesonide) and long-acting beta2 agonists (e.g., salmeterol). The safety and effectiveness of Breo Ellipta when taken with these types of medications have not been established in clinical trials.

Eliquis is a prescription medication used to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and serious heart valve problems in people who have atrial fibrillation. It’s also used to reduce the risk of blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) in adults who have a type of blood clot called deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Eliquis is an anticoagulant, or blood thinner. This medicine reduces your risk of stroke, heart attack, and serious heart valve problems. Eliquis is used to reduce the risk of stroke in people who have atrial fibrillation (AFib). Eliquis may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor. Eliquis is used to treat or prevent a type of blood clot called deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can lead to blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). This medicine is also used to reduce the risk of stroke and serious blood clots in people with atrial fibrillation (a condition in which the heart beats irregularly, increasing the chance of clots forming in the body and possibly causing strokes) that is not caused by a heart valve problem. Eliquis is not used to treat a heart valve problem. Eliquis is used to reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots in people with atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is a type of irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia). This can raise your risk for blood clots or other problems, such as heart failure or stroke. Your doctor may prescribe Eliquis if you have atrial fibrillation and are at high risk for having a stroke, heart attack, or blood clot due to this condition. Eliquis is sometimes taken together with aspirin if you cannot take warfarin. Eliquis is a blood thinner (anticoagulant) used to treat or prevent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Eliquis belongs to a group of medicines called direct oral anticoagulants. It works by preventing your blood from clotting too much, so that it can flow normally through the body.

The active ingredient in Entresto is a combination of valsartan, a nonpeptide angiotensin II receptor antagonist, and sacubitril, an inhibitor of neprilysin (neutral endopeptidase), an endogenous peptidase enzyme that degrades neurohormones such as bradykinin, substance P and natriuretic peptides. Inhibition of neprilysin by sacubitril increases the amount of natriuretic peptides in your body, producing vasodilation and decreasing fluid in the blood vessels.

Inhibition of neprilysin by sacubitril increases the amount of natriuretic peptides in your body, producing vasodilation and decreasing fluid in the blood vessels.

The production of these hormones results in:

Vasodilation – which decreases fluid retention and swelling in your body

Decreases blood pressure, especially systolic pressure (the higher number on your blood pressure reading)

Decreases heart rate

Entresto medicine is good for heart medication.

As with any medicine, Entresto has side effects. Serious side effects that may require a patient to stop taking the drug include the following:

Severe skin rash or itching (hives), swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat

Rapid weight gain (3 pounds in one week)

If you have hives or swelling of your lips, face, tongue, or throat; if you have difficulty breathing; or if you get new symptoms such as dizziness and fainting when you start taking this medication – take it back to the doctor who prescribed it for you immediately.

Fluticasone is used to prevent asthma attacks. Fluticasone will not treat an asthma attack that has already begun. Flovent is a steroid. It prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation.

What is this Medicine?

Flovent is a corticosteroid used to treat asthma. Flovent works by helping to reduce swelling in your airways, making it easier to breathe.

General Information

Inhaled corticosteroids are a type of medicine used to prevent asthma symptoms. Your doctor may prescribe Flovent for you if you have asthma and one or more of the following:

Have had an asthma attack in the past 12 months

Have experienced severe worsening of your asthma symptoms, such as frequent wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath or coughing after exercise

Have had 3 or more attacks in the past 12 months that required treatment with an inhaled short-acting beta2-agonist

Proper Use of this Medicine

Take this medicine only as directed by your doctor. Do not use more of it, do not take it more often, and do not take it for a longer time than your doctor ordered. If you are taking fluticasone propionate inhalation powder through an inhaler, shake the inhaler well before each use.

Have your or your child’s condition checked regularly while taking this medicine to make sure that the medicine is working properly and that side effects are not occurring.

Precautions While Using This Medicine

You must follow these precautions while using this medicine to avoid side effects:

Do not put the inhaler into your mouth and swallow it.

Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth or broken skin while using Flovent.

Do not use this medicine for other health conditions other than those mentioned by your doctor.

Avoid drug interactions when you are taking Flovent with any other drugs such as Corticosteroids, Contraceptives and other medicines that can cause birth defects by reducing the effectiveness of birth control pills (oral contraceptives).

To help you remember, use Flovent at the same time each day.

You can use Flovent before exercise, but not within 2 hours of it. And don’t use it for more than 12 hours without taking a break from it. Don’t take a dose of Flovent if you haven’t used one in 4 weeks or longer.

If you’re taking other medicines (or even vitamins), tell the doctor who prescribes the medication that they are being taken with your current medicine so they can decide whether they should be changed or reduced. It’s probably a good idea to tell them any other things they might need to know as well, such as how much alcohol is being consumed during this time period and whether there has been any change in diet (it’s especially important not to eat foods that contain shellfish – like shrimp scampi).

For patients with chronic bronchitis, Incruse Ellipta is indicated to reduce the frequency of exacerbations (flare ups), improve symptoms and reduce oral corticosteroid use in appropriate patients.

Incruse Ellipta may be taken with or without food.

Do not drink grapefruit juice while taking Incruse Ellipta. Grapefruit juice can increase the amount of Incruse Ellipta in your body, which could make it more likely that you will have side effects such as abdominal pain and shortness of breath. Do not take any other inhaled medications while using Incruse Ellipta unless approved by your doctor.

Alcohol should be avoided while you are taking Incruse Ellipta because alcohol can cause dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting and other serious side effects when combined with this medication. You should also avoid getting Incruse Ellipta in your eyes, nose or mouth as this may lead to serious eye irritation that could cause vision problems including blurred vision and even blindness if it goes untreated for a long time

Incruse Ellipta is an inhaled medication used twice daily to treat chronic bronchitis.

Incruse Ellipta is a prescription medicine used to treat chronic bronchitis (COPD), a common respiratory condition that causes long-term breathing problems. It is also used to reduce the frequency of asthma flare-ups in adults with moderate to severe COPD who are not using inhaled steroid medication.

This medication comes as a powder that you breathe in through a nebulizer and into your lungs, usually twice daily for as long as you need it; however, your doctor may prescribe other dosing regimens depending on how well the drug works for you.

Each dose of Incruse Ellipta is administered via an inhaler that contains a pressurized canister filled with dry powder medication that breaks apart when it reaches high enough pressure inside the airways so it can be absorbed into the lungs.

Do not use Incruse Ellipta if you are allergic to umeclidinium, milk proteins, or any of the inactive ingredients listed in the full prescribing information.

The following inactive ingredients are contained in the inhaler:

• alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) capsule

• ascorbyl palmitate solution

• carboxymethylcellulose sodium (high viscosity), USP and magnesium stearate, NF.

The following allergens are contained in the inhaler:

• milk proteins

The most common side effects of Incruse Ellipta include upper respiratory tract infection, sinusitis, headache, thrush in the mouth or throat, sore throat and cough.

The most common side effects of Incruse Ellipta include upper respiratory tract infection, sinusitis, headache, thrush in the mouth or throat, sore throat and cough.

Occasionally you may be prescribed an antibiotic to treat a sore throat or other symptoms. If you are taking antibiotics for more than 10 days do not stop taking them suddenly as this may cause problems with your heart. You should speak to your doctor before stopping any medication if advised by them. Be careful if driving or operating machinery while sick with these infections (see ‘Driving and using machines’).

Most patients who received Incruse Ellipta in clinical trials reported no change in heart rate from a resting heart rate immediately after dosing compared with placebo.

Incruse Ellipta is a prescription medication used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Most patients who received Incruse Ellipta in clinical trials reported no change in heart rate from a resting heart rate immediately after dosing compared with placebo. However, some patients may experience an increase in heart rate and blood pressure while using this drug. This can happen at any time during treatment, but it’s most common during the first few days of treatment.

If you have questions about how to use your Incruse Ellipta inhaler, ask your doctor or pharmacist for help.

Janumet is a prescription medication that is used to lower blood sugar levels in patients who have type 2 diabetes.

Janumet is a prescription medication that is used to lower blood sugar levels in patients who have type 2 diabetes. Janumet contains two active ingredients: sitagliptin and metformin hydrochloride.

Sitagliptin, an oral anti-diabetic drug (OAD), works by inhibiting the release of glucose from the liver into your bloodstream after you eat food. This helps your body use insulin more efficiently and to better control your blood sugar levels. Metformin hydrochloride, another OAD commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), also helps your body make more sensitive to insulin so it will be able to use glucose more effectively

Janumet contains metformin and sitagliptin.

Janumet contains metformin and sitagliptin. Metformin is a biguanide. Sitagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor.

Metformin and sitagliptin are both oral medications that lower blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes by reducing how much glucose your body absorbs from the food you eat and how much your liver makes, as well as increasing your sensitivity to insulin

Janumet is also indicated as add-on therapy to other oral antidiabetic agents, basal insulin or mealtime insulin when these treatments are inadequate for adequate glycemic control.

Janumet can be used with other medications. In addition to Janumet, you may need to take other oral antidiabetic agents, basal insulin or mealtime insulin. Janumet is also indicated as add-on therapy to other oral antidiabetic agents, basal insulin or mealtime insulin when these treatments are inadequate for adequate glycemic control.

Janumet should be administered with caution in patients with hypoglycemia unawareness and in patients who are on too large doses of metformin alone (more than 1 g/day).

Janumet may interact with birth control hormones, diuretics (water pills), rifampin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (such as ibuprofen, naproxen), pain medications, or steroids.

Janumet may interact with:

Birth control hormones. Janumet can decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills and other hormonal contraceptives, such as patches or implants. You’ll need to use a backup method of birth control while taking Janumet and for 1 month after you stop.

Diuretics (water pills). Some diuretic medicines (such as hydrochlorothiazide, chlorthalidone) may increase the amount of uric acid in your blood and cause gout attacks or kidney problems when taken with this medication. Other drugs used for high blood pressure or heart failure are also diuretics (but without known effects on uric acid levels), so be sure your doctor knows about any other medications you take before starting treatment with Janumet.

Rifampin This drug increases the risk that patiromer will cause low potassium levels in your blood. Your doctor should check your potassium level regularly during treatment if you’re taking patiromer while also taking rifampin because these two medications work well together to lower cholesterol levels; however, they can also cause serious side effects when taken together

Tell your doctor about all of the medications you’re taking including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements.

In addition to your diabetes medications, Janumet can also interact with other medications.

If you are taking birth control hormones, Janumet may cause your blood glucose to go low.

The combination of Janumet and rifampin has been shown to increase the risk of muscle breakdown in people with type 2 diabetes who are taking metformin. Rifampin is an antibiotic used for treating tuberculosis. Your doctor may need to adjust the dose of this drug if you take it while taking these medications together.

A common side effect of Janumet is hypoglycemia (low blood glucose). Diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide or furosemide can elevate potassium levels in your body, which could cause your hypoglycemia symptoms to get worse if you take them at the same time as these drugs. Talk with your doctor about whether any other medicines you’re taking could affect how well Janumet works for you by causing hypoglycemia or other side effects that could make managing your diabetes more difficult

Janumet can help lower blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetic patients.

Janumet is a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It contains two active ingredients, sitagliptin and metformin. Janumet is indicated as add-on therapy to other oral antidiabetic agents, basal insulin or mealtime insulin when these treatments are inadequate for adequate glycemic control.

Januvia (sitagliptin) is a prescription medication approved to treat type 2 diabetes. It is used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar levels in people whose diabetes cannot be controlled by diet and exercise alone. Januvia belongs to a class of drugs called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, which work by increasing the levels of natural substances called incretins. According to clinical studies, Januvia reduces HbA1c significantly more than does placebo or other antidiabetic medications when added to a variety of other treatments.

Januvia (sitagliptin), a drug used to control blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes, lowers HbA1C without causing excessively low blood sugar levels.

Sitagliptin is indicated for use with diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sitagliptin increases the levels of natural substances called incretins, which may help restore your body’s ability to make insulin and control your blood glucose level.

Januvia works by increasing levels of natural substances called incretins. Incretins help to control sugar by increasing insulin release, especially after a meal. They also decrease the amount of sugar your liver makes.

Januvia was FDA-approved in 2006 as an add-on treatment for type 2 diabetes, along with diet and exercise.

Januvia is an antidiabetic drug used to treat type 2 diabetes. It’s a member of the class of drugs known as dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and can be used alone or in combination with other medications. Januvia was FDA-approved in 2006 as an add-on treatment for type 2 diabetes, along with diet and exercise.

It’s important to note that Januvia should not be used as a monotherapy; rather, it works best when combined with other medications like insulin therapy. Also, because Januvia is a DPP-4 inhibitor, it is not recommended for people who suffer from type 1 diabetes (the kind caused by autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells).

According to clinical studies, Januvia reduced HbA1c significantly more than did placebo or other antidiabetic medications when added to a variety of other treatments.

Januvia (sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor) is a medication that lowers blood sugar levels. It’s used to treat type 2 diabetes.

It’s important to keep your blood sugar levels under control for the best health possible. With type 2 diabetes, your body does not use insulin properly and cannot make enough of it on its own. As a result, your blood sugar level becomes too high and can cause serious health problems over time if left untreated—including heart disease, blindness, kidney failure and amputation of limbs due to poor circulation (foot). Januvia helps control these problems by helping the pancreas produce more insulin while also reducing how much glucose enters the bloodstream after eating food or drinking sugary beverages like sodas or juices (most people eat three meals per day plus snacks throughout their waking hours).

The most common side effects of Januvia are upper respiratory tract infections and headache.

These symptoms usually occur during the first few weeks of treatment and subside after a few months.

Take your medication as directed to help prevent side effects from happening. If any problems occur, consult your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Tell your healthcare provider if you experience any worrisome changes in mood or behavior that last for more than two weeks while taking Januvia

There have been reports of acute pancreatitis in patients taking Januvia, although there is no conclusive evidence that Januvia causes pancreatitis. Some patients have reported severe joint pain while taking the drug, but this is rare. As with all antidiabetic drugs, some patients may experience hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

Pancreatitis is a serious condition that can be fatal. It can occur in patients with existing conditions, such as diabetes, or in patients who have not previously experienced problems with their pancreas. Januvia is associated with an increased risk of pancreatitis and has been linked to multiple cases of the disorder. However, there is no conclusive evidence that Januvia causes pancreatitis itself; there’s simply a correlation between taking the drug and developing pancreatitis symptoms.

In addition to acute pancreatitis, some patients have reported severe joint pain while taking Januvia (and other medications like it), but this is rare. As with all antidiabetic drugs, some patients may experience hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

Januvia is a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is a tablet that people take once daily and can be used alone or with other antidiabetic medications. It is taken openly (without food) on an empty stomach with or without water, approximately 30 minutes before eating.

Januvia can be used by patients who have not been able to control their blood sugar levels with diet and exercise alone, or in combination with other antidiabetic drugs such as insulin or metformin.

Lantus (insulin glargine) is a long-acting insulin that starts to work several hours after injection and keeps working evenly for 24 hours. Insulin is a hormone that works by lowering levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Lantus is used to treat type 1 or type 2 diabetes in adults. Lantus is usually injected once per day, at the same time each day. Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose. Use the medicine exactly as directed. Your blood sugar will need to be checked often, and you may need other blood tests at your doctor’s office. Follow all medical appointments. Using insulin can make you gain weight or cause swelling in your ankles or feet, especially if you also have heart failure or kidney problems from diabetes. Ask your doctor before changing your diet or the dose of your diabetes medicine. Before using Lantus, tell your doctor if you have liver disease, kidney disease, heart failure, diabetic ketoacidosis (call your doctor for treatment with insulin), low potassium levels in your blood (hypokalemia), high sodium levels in the blood (hypernatremia), adrenal gland problems, an infection that causes fever or chills, an active infection anywhere in your body including tuberculosis (TB), fungal infections such as thrush; trouble breathing; vision problems; rapid weight gain; a bladder infection; enlarged prostate; severe stomach pain with nausea and vomiting; epilepsy seizures; thyroid problems; cancer of any kind including leukemia lymphoma pituitary tumor adrenal gland tumor melanoma pheochromocytoma acromegaly erythrocytosis hemochromatosis multiple myeloma ovarian cancer breast cancer uterine cancer pancreatic cancer prostate cancer liver cancer gallbladder disease gallstones cholelith

Lantus (insulin glargine) is a long-acting insulin that starts to work several hours after injection and keeps working evenly for 24 hours.

Lantus is used to treat type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Lantus can be taken alone, or with other insulins, oral medications for diabetes and certain foods/drinks.

It is usually given once a day at bedtime as part of your treatment plan along with other medicines to help control blood sugar levels in people with both types of diabetes mellitus (DM). If you take Lantus with another type of insulin and/or oral medicine, the dose may need adjusting based on how much carbohydrate you eat at meals or snacks throughout the day.

Lantus is used to treat type 1 or type 2 diabetes in adults. It is also used with other medicines for long-term treatment of diabetes.

Lantus works by lowering blood sugar levels. Lantus starts working about 30 minutes after you inject it and keeps working for up to 24 hours.

If you were using another long-acting insulin like Levemir, Vetsulin® (0.2% solution), Humulin® L, Humalog®, Levulan®, Novolin R®, NovoLog®, Apidra®, Humalin S/NPH and Prandin® (1 mg) before starting the use of Lantus, your doctor may need to change your dose of these medications when switching over to Lantus as they have different half lives (length of time they take to leave the body). Your doctor should tell you if this is necessary and how much more or less frequent dosing will be required at first so that any possible problems with low blood sugar can be avoided

Lantus may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
