Toujeo Max (Insulin Glargine)
What is a Generic Drug?
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

TOUJEO Max (insulin glargine) is a medication prescribed to improve glycemic control in patients with diabetes. TOUJEO Max is approved for use in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus or type 2 diabetes mellitus.
People with diabetes cannot regulate their blood sugar in a normal range. High blood sugar (hyperglycemia) can cause damage to organs, and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) is a medical emergency and can be life-threatening.
TOUJEO Max contains a long-acting insulin that works for about 24 hours in most people. TOUJEO Max has a higher concentration than other long-acting insulins. TOUJEO Max is a good option for people who take higher dosages because they do not have to inject as much volume as insulins with a lower concentration. The concentration of TOUJEO Max is 300 units per milliliter.
Directions
Inject TOUJEO Max insulin under the skin once daily at the same time each day. Rotate injection sites to avoid lipodystrophy.
Store TOUJEO Max in the refrigerator until the pen is used for the first time. After the first use, it can be stored at room temperature for up to 28 days and then discarded.

The active ingredient in TOUJEO Max is insulin glargine. TOUJEO Max contains the same medication as TOUJEO but is a larger pen size. TOUJEO Max SOLOSTAR holds 900 units (or 3 milliliters).
