What is Lantus® (insulin glargine injection) 100 Units/mL?
Prescription Lantus
® is a long-acting insulin used to treat adults with type 2
diabetes and adults and pediatric patients (children 6 years and older) with
type 1 diabetes for the control of high blood sugar.
• Do not use Lantus®

Important Safety Information for Lantus®
(insulin glargine injection) 100 Units/mL
Do not take Lantus
® during episodes of low blood sugar or if you are allergic
to insulin or any of the inactive ingredients in Lantus
®.
Do not share needles, insulin pens, or syringes with others. Do NOT
reuse needles.
Before starting Lantus
®, tell your doctor about all your medical conditions,
including if you have liver or kidney problems, if you are pregnant or planning
to become pregnant or if you are breast-feeding or planning to breast-feed.
Heart failure can occur if you are taking insulin together with certain medicines
called TZDs (thiazolidinediones), even if you have never had heart failure or
other heart problems. If you already have heart failure, it may get worse while
you take TZDs with Lantus
®. Your treatment with TZDs and Lantus
® may
need to be changed or stopped by your doctor if you have new or worsening
heart failure. Tell your doctor if you have any new or worsening symptoms of
heart failure, including:
• Shortness of breath Sudden weight gain•
• Swelling of your ankles or feet
Tell your doctor about all the medications you take, including OTC medicines,
vitamins, and supplements, including herbal supplements. Lantus
® should be
taken once a day at the same time every day. Test your blood sugar levels
while using insulin, such as Lantus
®. Do not make any changes to your dose
or type of insulin without talking to your healthcare provider. Any change of
insulin should be made cautiously and only under medical supervision.
Do NOT dilute or mix Lantus® with any other insulin or solution. It will
not work as intended and you may lose blood sugar control, which could be
serious. Lantus® must only be used if the solution is clear and colorless with
no particles visible. Always make sure you have the correct insulin before each
injection.
While using Lantus®, do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you
know how Lantus® affects you. You should not drink alcohol or use other
medicines that contain alcohol.
The most common side effect of insulin, including Lantus®, is low
blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which may be serious. It may cause harm
to your heart or brain. Symptoms of serious low blood sugar may include
shaking, sweating, fast heartbeat, and blurred vision.
Lantus® may cause serious side effects that can lead to death, such as
severe allergic reactions. Get medical help right away if you have:
• A rash over your whole body • Swelling of your face, tongue, or throat
• Trouble breathing Shortness of breath•
• A fast heartbeat • Extreme drowsiness, dizziness, or confusion

COMMON QUESTIONS
For additional information go to
Lantus.com.
Why must I always wash my hands before using the Lantus ®
SoloSTAR® pen?
Many bacteria live on the surfaces of your hands. Bacteria can cause
infection if they get into the skin. Washing your hands before injecting
yourself will greatly reduce the chance of your getting an infection.
Does using the Lantus® SoloSTAR® pen hurt?
The pen uses a small and very thin needle.The insulin is injected
into the fatty layers just under your skin where there are fewer
nerve endings than in other places.
Do I need to use a new pen each time I give myself an injection?
No, you do not need to use a new pen each time. Each Lantus®
SoloSTAR® pen contains 300 units of insulin. Use the same pen
until there is no more insulin left. The pen can be used for 28 days
once you open it and start to use it.
Can I use the same needle more than one time?
No, always attach a new, sterile needle. Using the same needle
may cause contamination, air bubbles, or spread infection.
What do I do if my Lantus® SoloSTAR® pen jams?
You can call a Lantus® SoloSTAR® pen expert at the 24-hour
hotline 1-800-633-1610 and leave a message. You will be called
back. In the meantime, use another pen to inject your insulin.
What do I do if there’s not enough insulin in the pen?
You can use another pen to finish your dose. Remember, the pen
will not let you dial more than the number of insulin units left in the
pen. You must always use a new needle.
What should I do with the pen if I have been using it for 28 days?
You should throw the pen away if you have opened it and have
been using it for 28 days, even if there is still insulin left in the pen.
Does the 28-day limit for using the pen also apply to
unopened pens?
Unopened pens can be stored at room temperature for up to 28
days and should be discarded after that. If unopened pens are
kept refrigerated they may be used until their expiration date.
How do I take care of my Lantus® SoloSTAR® pen?
Protect your pen from dust and dirt. Clean the outside of the pen
with a damp cloth. Do not run it under water or use any soap or
other cleansers.

WELCOME TO YOUR LANTUS®
(insulin glargine injection) 100 Units/mL
SOLOSTAR® PEN
Starting a new routine takes getting used to. This six-
step guide will walk you through how to use your Lantus
®
SoloSTAR® pen and give you the basics you need for getting
started.
What is Lantus® (insulin glargine injection) 100 Units/mL?
Prescription Lantus® is a long-acting insulin used to treat
adults with type 2 diabetes and adults and pediatric patients
(children 6 years and older) with type 1 diabetes for the control
of high blood sugar.
• Do not use Lantus® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis.
Important Safety Information for Lantus®
(insulin glargine injection) 100 Units/mL
Do not take Lantus® during episodes of low blood sugar or if
you are allergic to insulin or any of the inactive ingredients in
Lantus®.
Do not share needles, insulin pens, or syringes with
others. Do NOT reuse needles.
Before starting Lantus®, tell your doctor about all your medical
conditions, including if you have liver or kidney problems, if
you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant or if you
are breast-feeding or planning to breast-feed.
Please see page 17 for full Important Safety Information and
inside pocket for full Prescribing Information for Lantus®.
• Always perform the safety test before each injection.
• Never use the pen if no insulin comes out after using a
second needle.
!
STEP 3. PERFORM A SAFETY TEST
•
Dial a test dose of 2 units.
• Hold pen with the needle pointing
up and lightly tap the insulin
reservoir so the air bubbles rise
to the top of the needle. This will
help you get the most accurate
dose.
• Press the injection button all the
way in and check to see that
insulin comes out of the needle.
The dial will automatically go back
to zero after you perform the test.
• If no insulin comes out, repeat the
test 2 more times. If there is still no insulin coming out, use a
new needle and do the safety test again.
STEP 4. SELECT THE DOSE
• Make sure the window shows “0” and then select the
dose. Otherwise you will inject more insulin than you need
and that can affect your blood sugar level.
• Dial back up or down if you dialed the wrong amount.
• Check if you have enough insulin in the reservoir. If you
cannot dial the dose you want it may be because you
don’t have enough insulin left.
• You cannot dial more than 80 units because the pen has
a safety stop. If your dose is more than 80 units, you will
need to redial the rest of your dose. If you don’t have
enough insulin for the rest of your dose you will need to
use a new pen.
• Never force the dose selector when dialing your dose.
• Never set the dose selector to half units or the pen
may jam.
!
• Choose a new injection
spot each time.
• Take the needle from
your skin if you dial
another dose.
!
• Clean site with an alcohol swab.
Please see injection site options on page 6.
• Keep the pen straight, insert the needle into your skin.
• Using your thumb, press the injection button all the way
down and slowly count to 10 before removing. (Counting
to 10 will make sure you get your full insulin dose.)
• Release the button and remove the needle from your skin.
Never share your needle or pen with another
person.
!
STEP 6. REMOVE THE NEEDLE
•
Insulin pens, needles, or syringes must never be
shared between patients. Do NOT reuse needles.
• After injecting, always remove the needle to prevent
contamination and leaking.
• Put the outer needle cap back on the needle and unscrew
(or pull) the needle from the pen.
• Throw needle away in a sharps container. For more
information on disposing needles please see page 8.
• Put the pen cap back on the pen and store in a
safe place at room temperature.
Please see page 17 for full Important Safety Information and
inside pocket for full Prescribing Information for Lantus®.
• After you have attached the needle, take off the outer
needle cap and save it (you will need it to remove the
needle after your injection).
• Remove the inner needle cap and throw it away.
STEP 5. INJECT YOUR DOSE
