About Insulin Glargine Solostar, Insulin Glargine and its cost

What is this medication? Insulin glargine, which is frequently administered via the SoloStar pre-filled pen, is a long-acting type of insulin used to manage blood sugar levels in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. It is designed to provide a constant level of insulin in the bloodstream for a full day, mimicking the natural basal insulin production of a healthy pancreas. This steady release helps keep blood glucose levels stable during periods of fasting, such as between meals or while sleeping. Unlike rapid-acting insulins, this medication starts working several hours after injection and continues to work evenly without a specific peak of activity.

The medication works by assisting the movement of glucose from the blood into various body cells so it can be utilized for energy, while also inhibiting the liver from releasing excess sugar. Regular use of insulin glargine is a critical component of a diabetes management plan to prevent serious long-term health issues like nerve damage, kidney problems, and heart disease. It is typically injected under the skin once a day at the same time every day. Patients should always follow their doctor's guidance on monitoring blood sugar and adjusting their treatment plan to achieve the best results.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford Insulin Glargine Solostar, Insulin Glargine?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for Insulin Glargine Solostar, Insulin Glargine?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Sanofi has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Insulin Glargine Solostar, Insulin Glargine?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Diabetes?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
