How much is Lantus with insurance?

Lantus prices with insurance depend on the terms of your healthcare plan. Contact your pharmacist or insurance provider to calculate your copay with your current insurance.

How much does Lantus cost without insurance?

Lantus prices without insurance will depend on whether you buy multiple-dose vials (10 ml) or SoloStar prefilled pens (3 ml). Prices can also vary by retailer. As a guide, 100 ml of Lantus for subcutaneous injection (typically 1 month’s supply) can cost around $400.

What is Lantus?

Lantus is a long-acting synthetic insulin prescribed to reduce high blood sugar levels in:

• Adults and children aged 6 years and over with type 1 diabetes
• Adults with type 2 diabetes

Lantus works in the same way as the insulin your body naturally produces. The medication helps your cells absorb sugar from your blood. As it is a slow-acting version of insulin, one injection can give you all the insulin you need over 24 hours. You inject Lantus under your skin (subcutaneous injection), using a syringe or a pre-filled injectable SoloStar pen.

Lantus active ingredients

The active ingredient in Lantus is called insulin glargine, a type of synthetic (man-made) insulin. Insulin glargine works in a similar way to the insulin your body makes naturally, except it’s been designed to be slower acting to work over a longer period.

When you inject Lantus under your skin, the insulin glargine is released into your bloodstream. It travels around your body and attaches to cells that need sugar. This causes your cells to release a substance that helps them absorb sugar from your blood. Insulin glargine can be active for up to 24 hours, so it can cover your insulin needs for up to a day.

Lantus side effects & Lantus drug interactions

The most common side effects caused by Lantus include:

• Allergic reactions that can cause swelling of your face, tongue, or throat
• Reactions at the site of injection, like itching, rashes, skin thickening, or pits forming in your skin (lipodystrophy)
• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
• Weight gain

Lantus can also cause more serious side effects, although these are rarer. They can include:

• Severe allergic reactions to the medication can cause anaphylaxis
• Your blood sugar falling too low to dangerous levels (hypoglycemia)
• Heart failure, if you take Lantus with other medications called TZDs (thiazolidinediones)
• Low potassium levels in your blood (hypokalemia)

Lantus can interact with other medications. This can change how Lantus and the other medications work and can make some side effects more likely. These include:

• Thiazolidinedione medications (TZDs), taken to treat diabetes
• Any other diabetes medications
• Beta-blockers, taken to treat high blood pressure
• Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, taken to treat high blood pressure and certain heart conditions
• Fibrates, taken to lower blood triglyceride levels
• Corticosteroids such as cortisone
• Protease inhibitors, taken for HIV/AIDS
• Diuretics, taken to make you lose water and salt, usually taken to treat high blood pressure
• Clonidine, taken to treat a range of conditions including high blood pressure, ADHD, drug withdrawal, menopausal flushing, and certain pain conditions
• Guanethidine and reserpine, taken to treat high blood pressure
