Take as prescribed: Most of the time Lantus (insulin glargine) is dosed once a day but occasionally it is given 2x/day follow your doctors orders, changing that could have serious consequences.

Once daily: Lantus (insulin glargine) is a long acting form of Insulin that is administered once daily (at the same time, every day). It never hurts to ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions, it's important to take the medications as directed.
