Toujeo SoloStar and Toujeo Max SoloStar are long-acting insulin pens. The body releases insulin throughout the day and during meals to keep your blood sugar stable. Insulins like Toujeo are meant to do essentially the same. Taken once a day, long-acting insulin simulates how your body controls blood sugar.

Toujeo contains insulin glargine, which is a long-acting insulin. This drug is given as a subcutaneous injection (an injection under your skin). It's available in the following two prefilled pens: Toujeo SoloStar.

What is Lantus Solostar Pen? Lantus Solostar Pen is a long-acting insulin that starts to work several hours after injection and keeps working evenly for 24 hours. Lantus Solostar Pen is used to improve blood sugar control in people with diabetes mellitus. Toujeo is for use in adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

Toujeo SoloStar and Toujeo Max SoloStar are single-patient-use prefilled insulin pens. It is important to perform a safety test when using a new pen for the first time.

Both Toujeo and Lantus are long-acting insulins that contain glargine, however Toujeo is more concentrated containing 300 units per mL of glargine, compared to Lantus's 100 units per mL. Researchers discovered that concentrating insulin makes it last longer in the body with less variability in blood levels over time.

The bottom line Toujeo may also have a lower risk of hypoglycemia, making it a good option for older adults. Lantus is available as a vial and insulin pen. Toujeo is available as two different types of insulin pens, and both of them are more concentrated than Lantus.

Each milliliter of TOUJEO contains 300 Units (10.91 mg) insulin glargine dissolved in a clear aqueous fluid. The 1.5 mL SoloStar disposable prefilled pen presentation contains the following inactive ingredients per mL: 90 mcg zinc, 2.7 mg m-cresol, 20 mg glycerol 85%, and water for injection.

Max SoloStar: Select 4 units by turning the dose selector until the dose pointer is at 4. SoloStar: Select 3 units by turning the dose selector until the dose pointer is between 2 and 4. Then press the injection button all the way in. When insulin comes out of the needle tip, your pen is good to go.

Toujeo pens contain 300 units of insulin in 1 mL of liquid, making them three times as concentrated as a Lantus pen.
