Insulin (Lantus/Humalog) price: India vs USA
Also known as: Glargine Lispro Basaglar Semglee NovoLog Humalog Lantus
Insulin is an injectable hormone therapy used by people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes to control blood sugar levels. Long-acting versions like Lantus (glargine) provide steady background coverage, while rapid-acting Humalog (lispro) is taken around meals. In the USA a month's supply often runs into the hundreds of dollars even with insurance, whereas Indian pharmacies stock the same molecules — including biosimilar insulins from local manufacturers — at a small fraction of the price.
