Lantus VS Glargine (generic Lantus) ???

For the first time, I picked up Pumpkin's prescription and it isn't Glargine. It's actually Lantus. Should I be concerned with any possible differences? I know that human OTC generic does not work as well as name brand for me. I hope it isn't going to be more potent.

 

No. Lantus is a brand name. There are several brands that are glargine insulins that are biosimular toceach other. I have used both Lantus and Semglee and never noticed any difference

 

That's encouraging. Thank you.

 

Ben has used Lantus, and started on Semglee which was the first biosimilar glargine. Right now, I got a great deal through good RX for a different glargine biosimilar, there are several on the market now. They have all worked the same. The biosimilar glargine is much easier on my wallet.
Hope this helps.
