Source-linked reading points

  • “100 units/mL (U-100)” describes the concentration of the labelled product. Units and mg are not one unit that can be converted from a webpage. A dose-window display, the actual units used and product concentration must be checked together against the exact device, prescription and current label with a clinician or pharmacist.
  • The public archive includes wording for different presentations such as vials and prefilled pens. They are part of product identity. Do not apply experience with another pen, vial or insulin to this product, or self-convert, substitute or mix products from appearance or a shared insulin-glargine name.
  • The label tells patients to check the insulin label before each injection to reduce medication errors, and notes that regimen changes can alter hyperglycaemia or hypoglycaemia risk and need close professional supervision. With confusion, a product change, abnormal glucose results or symptoms, contact the care team with the actual pack and complete medicine list rather than waiting for a website adjustment answer.
  • A pack image, brand name or “long-acting” description cannot authenticate a product, prove interchangeability or decide an individual's injection timing or units. This page does not replace teaching with the actual device; seek an in-person check and demonstration from a pharmacist, nurse or clinician if reading, vision, memory or handling is difficult.
