The drug SULIQUA contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Insulin glargine
UNII 2ZM8CX04RZ - INSULIN GLARGINE
|
|
Insulin glargine is a human insulin analogue designed to have a low solubility at neutral pH. After injection, the acidic solution is neutralised leading to formation of a precipitate from which small amounts of insulin glargine are continuously released. |
|
2
Lixisenatide
UNII 74O62BB01U - LIXISENATIDE
|
|
Lixisenatide is a selective GLP-1 receptor agonist. The GLP-1 receptor is the target for native GLP-1, an endogenous incretin hormone that potentiates glucose-dependent insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta cells. Lixisenatide stimulates insulin secretion when blood glucose is increased but not at normoglycaemia, which limits the risk of hypoglycaemia. In parallel, glucagon secretion is suppressed. In case of hypoglycaemia, the rescue mechanism of glucagon secretion is preserved. |
