What is Toujeo SoloStar and how does it work?

Toujeo SoloStar is a prefilled injection pen containing insulin glargine at a concentration of 300 units/mL (U-300). It is a long-acting, or basal, human insulin analog that provides steady, roughly 24-hour blood-sugar lowering to help improve glycemic control in adults and children 6 years and older with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. It comes in the standard Toujeo SoloStar pen and the higher-capacity Toujeo Max SoloStar pen.

Because Toujeo is three times more concentrated than standard U-100 insulins, the SoloStar pen dials the actual number of units you need, so you should never try to convert the dose yourself. Toujeo is a background insulin and is not used to treat diabetic ketoacidosis. Your provider will determine the right dose and schedule for you.

Toujeo SoloStar cost: manufacturer savings card vs. Rx.com cash coupon

The manufacturer, Sanofi, runs an official Toujeo savings program (described on the toujeo.com site) that can lower the out-of-pocket cost for eligible patients. Like most drug-maker copay cards, it is generally limited to people with commercial (private) insurance and is typically not available if you have Medicare, Medicaid, or other government coverage. Eligibility and terms vary and can change, so check the manufacturer's official program details.

If you are uninsured, covered by Medicare or Medicaid, or your savings card is declined, a Rx.com cash coupon is a straightforward alternative. It sets a discounted cash price you show at the pharmacy instead of billing insurance. Because there is no generic insulin glargine U-300, the pharmacy you choose and the coupon price are the main levers for savings. Sanofi also offers a patient assistance program for those who qualify based on income. Enter your ZIP above to see today's Rx.com price for Toujeo SoloStar in your area.

Toujeo alternatives and how it compares

Toujeo is one of several long-acting basal insulins. Your provider may discuss alternatives depending on your needs, coverage, and cost:

• Lantus SoloStar — also insulin glargine, but at the standard U-100 concentration; Toujeo is the more concentrated U-300 version of the same active insulin.
• Basaglar and Semglee — other insulin glargine U-100 products.
• Levemir (insulin detemir) and Tresiba (insulin degludec) — different long-acting basal insulins.

These insulins differ in concentration, how long they last, and cost, and they are not automatically interchangeable. Never switch insulin products, strengths, or doses without your provider's guidance.

Safety information

Toujeo has no boxed warning, but insulin carries important risks. The most common serious risk is hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), which can be severe or life-threatening. Low potassium (hypokalemia) can also occur and may cause serious heart rhythm problems, and rare but serious allergic reactions are possible. Never transfer between insulin products or change your insulin type, strength, or dose without medical supervision. Do not dilute or mix Toujeo with other insulins, and do not use it in an insulin pump or intravenously. Certain insulin-sensitizing medicines (such as TZDs) can cause fluid retention or heart failure when used with insulin.

This is general information, not medical advice. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your full medical history and any other medicines you take before starting or changing Toujeo.
