What is insulin glargine-yfgn and how does it work?

Insulin glargine-yfgn is a long-acting human insulin analog, also called a basal insulin. It is sold under the brand name Semglee and as an unbranded version. It is used to improve blood sugar (glycemic) control in adults and children with type 1 diabetes and in adults with type 2 diabetes. As a once-daily long-acting insulin, it provides a steady, background level of insulin throughout the day and night.

Insulin glargine-yfgn is FDA-approved as both a biosimilar to and interchangeable with insulin glargine (Lantus) — in fact, it was the first interchangeable biosimilar insulin approved in the United States. It is not recommended for treating diabetic ketoacidosis, and it is not for use in an insulin pump or given into a vein.

Insulin glargine-yfgn cost and savings without insurance

Because insulin glargine-yfgn is available as an unbranded (generic-style) biosimilar, it is often a lower-cost way to get insulin glargine therapy. Even so, the cash price without insurance can vary a lot depending on which pharmacy you use, which is why it pays to compare. Rx.com checks prices across more than 60,000 pharmacies so you can see what it actually costs near you today — just enter your ZIP above to see the current price and print or show a coupon at the counter.

There is also a manufacturer savings program for Semglee for eligible patients. Terms, eligibility, and any limits are set by the program and can change, so check the official page for details at the Semglee savings site. A manufacturer card and a cash coupon can't be combined, so it's worth comparing both to see which gives you the better price.

Insulin glargine-yfgn vs. other long-acting insulins

Insulin glargine-yfgn is one of several long-acting basal insulins. Its closest match is insulin glargine itself — it is interchangeable with Lantus and is the same active ingredient found in other insulin glargine products such as Basaglar and the higher-concentration Toujeo. You can also compare the unbranded product with the branded Semglee and the general insulin glargine listing.

Other long-acting insulins work similarly but use different active ingredients, including insulin detemir (Levemir / insulin detemir) and insulin degludec (Tresiba). These are not interchangeable with insulin glargine-yfgn. Which insulin is right for you is a decision for you and your prescriber — this comparison is for pricing and general information only, not medical advice.

Safety and what to know before using

Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is the most common and potentially serious side effect of insulin glargine-yfgn. Your risk can go up with changes to your insulin regimen, meal patterns, or physical activity, and when it is used with other glucose-lowering medicines. Some medicines, such as ACE inhibitors, can increase the risk of low blood sugar, and beta-blockers can mask the warning signs. Your provider may need to adjust your dose if you have kidney or liver problems, and blood potassium should be monitored because low potassium (hypokalemia) can occur.

A few important cautions: never share pens or needles with anyone else, even if the needle is changed, because of the risk of passing bloodborne infections. Do not dilute or mix insulin glargine-yfgn with any other insulin or solution, and do not use it in an IV or an insulin pump. Severe, life-threatening allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) can happen, and fluid retention or heart failure can occur if it is taken with thiazolidinediones (TZDs). This is general information, not medical advice — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific situation and any questions about your diabetes care.
