Abasagler

Living with diabetes often means thinking ahead, planning meals, checking levels, and staying consistent every day. What many people look for is a treatment that works quietly in the background without constant adjustments.

Abasaglar KwikPen is designed for that steady support. It contains insulin glargine, a long-acting insulin that provides steady blood sugar control for up to 24 hours with no pronounced peak. As a basal insulin, it creates a stable foundation for daily glucose control, making it a key part of long-term diabetic care. If prescribed, Abasaglar can be supplied through Pharmacy Planet as part of your personalised injectable diabetes therapy plan.

Abasaglar KwikPen is a prefilled diabetes injection pen containing insulin glargine. It is used to treat type 1 diabetes (where the body does not produce insulin) and type 2 diabetes (when insulin production or use is not sufficient). As a basal insulin, it provides a slow and steady release of insulin throughout the day and night.

Abasaglar works by replacing or supporting the insulin your body needs. Once injected, it releases insulin slowly over 24 hours, keeps blood sugar levels stable between meals and overnight, and reduces large fluctuations in glucose levels. This steady action makes it different from fast-acting insulin, which is used around meals.

Abasaglar is designed for once-daily use, keeping your routine simple and consistent. Inject once daily, at the same time each day. Dose is personalised based on your blood sugar levels and lifestyle. Your prescriber will guide you on the exact dose and monitoring routine.

Abasaglar is injected under the skin (subcutaneous injection) into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Always rotate injection sites to prevent skin problems. Do not inject into a vein. Always use a new needle for each injection. Check the insulin is clear before use. Do not share your KwikPen with others.

If you miss a dose, check your blood sugar levels, take your next dose as advised by your prescriber, and do not take a double dose.

Abasaglar may not be suitable if you are allergic to insulin glargine or any ingredients, experience frequent severe low blood sugar episodes, or are unable to monitor your blood sugar regularly. Always discuss your full medical history before starting treatment.

Before using Abasaglar, tell your prescriber if you have kidney or liver problems, a history of heart conditions, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have experienced frequent hypoglycaemia.

Like all insulin treatments, Abasaglar can cause side effects.

Common Side Effects:

• Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia)
• Injection site reactions such as redness or swelling
• Skin thickening or lumps at injection sites

Serious Side Effects:

• Severe hypoglycaemia leading to confusion or unconsciousness
• Severe allergic reactions, such as swelling or difficulty breathing
• Significant changes in vision due to blood sugar shifts

Seek urgent medical care if serious symptoms occur.
