How Basalog 100IU/ml Refill Cartridge 3 ml works
Basalog 100IU/ml Refill Cartridge 3 ml contains Insulin glargine, which functions as a long-acting insulin analog. After injection, it forms microprecipitates in the subcutaneous tissue, allowing insulin to be released slowly and evenly into the bloodstream. This steady release maintains constant insulin levels over 24 hours without sudden peaks. The insulin promotes glucose uptake by muscle and fat cells, converting sugar into usable energy. At the same time, it reduces glucose production in the liver, preventing excess sugar accumulation in the blood.
