Insulin glargine sold under the brand name Lantus among others is a long-acting modified form of medical insulin, used in the management of type I and type II diabetes.[7] It is injected just under the skin.[7] Effects generally begin an hour after use.[7]

Common side effects include low blood sugar, problems at the site of injection, itchiness, and weight gain.[7] Other serious side effects include low blood potassium.[7] NPH insulin rather than insulin glargine is generally preferred in pregnancy.[8] After injection, microcrystals slowly release insulin for about 24 hours.[7] This insulin causes body tissues to absorb glucose from the blood and decreases glucose production by the liver.[7]

Insulin glargine was approved for medical use in the United States in 2000.[7] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[9] In 2021, it was the 29th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States with more than 19 million prescriptions.[10][11] In July 2021, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an interchangeable biosimilar insulin product called Semglee (insulin glargine-yfgn) for the treatment of diabetes.[12]
