Sanofi India has launched its new product - Toujeo, the next generation basal insulin. Toujeo is a once-daily, long-acting basal analog insulin that improves glycemic control in adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Toujeo has demonstrated that it effectively lowers blood glucose, while minimizing the risk of hypoglycemia. It works by slowly releasing small amounts of insulin to provide continuous glucose-lowering activity that lasts beyond 24 hours. With its stable and flat/peak-less action profile, Toujeo reduces glycemic variability, i.e. the daily highs and lows that people with diabetes on insulin may experience.
The product also comes with an impressive MY COACH patient support program (offered free to patients prescribed Toujeo). This patient support program provides six comprehensive months of hand-holding patients through their treatment journey - tips on diet and lifestyle, training on injection techniques, sugar monitoring and more, via a mix of telephonic and in-person sessions. MY COACH will be offered under Sanofi's Saath-7 initiative, the longest running patient support program in India, which has serviced more than 4,12,000 people with diabetes on insulin till date.
Sanofi, a global and diversified healthcare leader, discovers, develops and distributes therapeutic solutions focused on patients’ needs.
