There is currently no generic alternative for Lantus, but there is an alternative insulin with the same active ingredient as Lantus. GoodRx has partnered with Inside Rx and Sanofi-Aventis to reduce the price for this prescription.
What is a good substitute for Lantus?
Basaglar is biologically similar to Sanofi's basal insulin Lantus (insulin glargine), including the same protein sequence and a similar glucose-lowering effect. While the FDA does not call it a “biosimilar” drug for regulatory reasons, it can essentially be thought of as an alternative form of Lantus.Jan 11, 2016
What is interchangeable with Lantus?
Semglee (insulin glargine-yfgn) is both biosimilar to, and interchangeable with, its reference product, Sanofi's Lantus (insulin glargine). Being interchangeable means that Semglee doesn't need to be explicitly prescribed and can be substituted for Lantus by a pharmacist who is filling the prescription.Aug 6, 2021
