Yes you can take both Apidra and Lantus together. Lantus is a Basal insulin taken once a day at the same time each day, and Apidra is a meal time insulin that you take to control blood sugars after you eat. Your doctor will prescribe these types of insulin's to you once your pancreas efficiency has reduced.
Lantus is insulin you take at night for diabetes.
The appropriate dosage of Lantus (insulin glargine) and Apidra (insulin glulisine) can vary significantly based on individual factors such as body weight, diet, activity level, and overall diabetes management goals. A daily dose of 50 units of Lantus and 20 units of Apidra may be suitable for some patients, but it is essential to consult a healthcare professional for personalized dosing recommendations. Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels is also crucial to ensure effective diabetes management.
Sanofi Aventis is a company that manufactures pharmaceutical products. They make prescription drugs like Ambien, Apidra, Lantus, Kevtek, Plavix and Zaltrap.

"Lantus, according to the package insert, is applied via injection much like other diabetes medications." "I have the Lantus package insert, and it is just a normal injection."
Lantus (insulin glargine) and Novorapid (insulin aspart) should not be mixed or drawn up together in the same syringe. Lantus is a long-acting insulin that has a different pH and mechanism of action compared to Novorapid, which is a rapid-acting insulin. Mixing them can alter their effectiveness and may lead to unpredictable absorption and blood sugar control. It's best to administer them separately to ensure proper management of diabetes.
