What the Health Canada label says it is for
1 INDICATIONS LANTUS [insulin glargine injection (rDNA origin)] is a recombinant human insulin analog indicated for once-daily subcutaneous administration in the treatment of patients over 17 years of age with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus who require basal (long-acting) insulin for the control of hyperglycemia. LANTUS is also indicated in the treatment of pediatric patients (˃6 years old) with Type 1 diabetes mellitus who require basal (long-acting) insulin for the control of hyperglycemia . 1.1 Pediatrics Pediatrics (>6 years of age): Based on the data submitted and reviewed by Health Canada, the safety and efficacy of LANTUS in pediatric patients over 6 years of age with Type 1 diabetes mellitus has been established. Therefore, Health Canada has authorized an indication for pediatric use. 1.2 Geriatrics Geriatrics (>65 years of age): Evidence from clinical studies and experience suggests that use in the geriatric population is associated with differences in safety or effectiveness. In elderly patients with diabetes, the initial dosing, dose increments, and maintenance dosage should be conservative to avoid hypoglycemic reactions. https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00063800.PDF PM date: December 1, 2021 Source product: LANTUS; DIN 02245689; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.
