Soliqua is indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults when single-agent therapy with either insulin glargine or a GLP-1 receptor agonist has not achieved adequate glycemic control.
Soliqua combines two active ingredients: insulin glargine (a long-acting insulin analog) that provides steady blood sugar control throughout the day, and lixisenatide (a GLP-1 receptor agonist) that stimulates insulin secretion, suppresses glucagon, and slows gastric emptying.
Soliqua should not be used for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Common side effects may include hypoglycemia, nausea, diarrhea, and injection site reactions. Patients should rotate injection sites and monitor blood glucose regularly. Dosage is individualized and initiated based on prior therapy.
