How Basalog 100IU/ml 5ml works
Basalog 100IU/ml Injection 5ml contains Insulin glargine, which acts as a long-acting insulin analog. After injection, it forms microprecipitates under the skin, releasing insulin slowly into the bloodstream. This steady release maintains consistent insulin levels for nearly 24 hours. It helps the body utilize glucose effectively by moving sugar from the blood into muscle and fat cells, where it is converted into energy. At the same time, it prevents the liver from producing excess glucose, which helps avoid spikes in blood sugar.
