Toujeo Solostar Injection contains the following components:

• Glargine (300 IU): Glargine is a synthetic long-acting insulin. It functions by acting like naturally occurring insulin in your body. Insulin is a hormone that regulates sugar levels in your blood. It stimulates glucose uptake in cells of skeletal muscles and adipose (fat) tissue, thus reducing the amount of glucose in your blood. It inhibits glucose production in the liver, further reducing the amount of glucose available in your blood. It reduces glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, ensuring that excess glucose is eliminated from your body through urine.
