Benefits of Soliqua Solostar Solution for Injection

In Treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus

Soliqua Solostar Solution for Injection is a man-made form of insulin that helps to control high blood glucose (sugar) levels. It replaces the insulin that is normally produced in the body. This helps the glucose get into your cells so your body can use it for energy. It also helps the body release insulin when blood sugar is high, which helps use sugar for energy. Lowering blood sugar levels helps reduce the risk of getting any of the serious complications of diabetes such as kidney damage, eye damage, nerve problems, and loss of limbs. Taking this medicine regularly along with a proper diet and exercise will help you live a normal, healthy life.

How Soliqua Solostar Solution for Injection works

Soliqua Solostar Solution for Injection is a combination of two antidiabetic medications. Insulin glargine works by replacing the insulin that is normally produced by the body and by helping move sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is used for energy. It also stops the liver from producing more sugar. Lixisenatide works by stimulating the pancreas to secrete insulin when blood sugar levels are high. Insulin helps move sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is used for energy. Lixisenatide also slows the emptying of the stomach and causes a decrease in appetite.
