Description
Insulin glargine is a long-acting human insulin analog produced by recombinant DNA technology utilizing a nonpathogenic laboratory strain of Escherichia coli (K12) as the production organism. Insulin glargine differs from human insulin in that the amino acid asparagine at position A21 is replaced by glycine and two arginines remain at the C-terminus of the B-chain. Insulin glargine has a molecular weight of 6063 Da. TOUJEO (insulin glargine) injection is a sterile, clear and colorless solution for subcutaneous injection. Each mL of TOUJEO contains 300 units of insulin glargine dissolved in a clear aqueous fluid. The 1.5 mL TOUJEO SoloStar prefilled pen presentation contains the following inactive ingredients per mL: glycerin (20 mg), metacresol (2.7 mg), zinc (90 mcg), and Water for Injection, USP.
