TOUJEO™ SOLOSTAR® - Canada Product Information

---

Toujeo is a type of insulin that helps control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. It’s a long-acting insulin, meaning it works slowly over time to keep your blood sugar stable throughout the day and night.

Who Can Use Toujeo?

Toujeo is for adults (18 years and older) with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes who need insulin to control their blood sugar levels. It's not suitable for children or teenagers under 18 years old.

How to Use Toujeo

• Dosage: Your doctor will tell you how much Toujeo to use. It’s usually injected once a day, at the same time each day.
• Injection Sites: You can inject Toujeo into your belly, thigh, or upper arm. Make sure to change (rotate) the spot where you inject each time to avoid skin problems.
• Pen Use: Toujeo comes in a pre-filled pen. Always use a new needle for each injection, and never share your pen with others.

Important Information

• Do Not Mix: Toujeo should not be mixed with any other insulin or diluted with any other solution.
• Check Your Blood Sugar: It’s important to regularly check your blood sugar levels to ensure Toujeo is working properly.
• Storage: Keep unopened pens in the fridge. Once you start using a pen, you can keep it at room temperature, but make sure to use it within 42 days.

Possible Side Effects

• Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia): This is the most common side effect of insulin. Signs include feeling shaky, sweating, confusion, and dizziness. Always carry a source of sugar with you, like candy or glucose tablets.
• Skin Reactions: You might notice redness, swelling, or itching at the injection site. If this happens, talk to your doctor.
• Weight Gain: Some people may gain weight while using Toujeo.

When Not to Use Toujeo

• Allergies: Don’t use Toujeo if you’re allergic to insulin glargine or any of the ingredients in Toujeo.
• Low Blood Sugar: Don’t use Toujeo during episodes of low blood sugar.

What to Do in Special Situations

• Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, check your blood sugar level. Don’t take an extra dose to make up for the missed one. Instead, continue with your next scheduled dose.
• Overdose: Taking too much Toujeo can cause severe low blood sugar. If you think you’ve taken too much, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

• If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor before using Toujeo.

If you have any questions or concerns about using Toujeo, speak with your healthcare provider. They can give you advice tailored to your specific health needs.
