Tanzeum Pen (Arbiglutide)

Tanzeum Pen (Albiglutide) is a once-weekly injectable prescription treatment designed to help adults with type 2 diabetes manage blood sugar levels. It belongs to a class of medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which work by stimulating insulin release and reducing glucose production in the liver. Used alongside diet and exercise, Tanzeum helps improve long-term glycemic control and supports a healthier blood sugar balance.

Why Choose Tanzeum Pen (Arbiglutide)?

• Once-weekly convenience: Simple injection schedule supports consistent use and better adherence.
• Improved blood sugar control: Helps lower fasting and post-meal glucose levels.
• Supports weight management: May contribute to modest weight reduction in some users.
• Low risk of hypoglycemia: When used alone, the chance of low blood sugar is reduced compared to insulin or sulfonylureas.
• Cardiometabolic support: Helps promote a healthier overall glucose profile for long-term wellness.

How to Use Tanzeum Pen (Arbiglutide)?

• Prepare the pen: Inspect the Tanzeum Pen for damage and ensure the solution is clear, not cloudy or discolored.
• Attach the needle: Use a new needle for every injection and follow the pen’s priming instructions.
• Choose your injection site: Inject subcutaneously in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Rotate sites each week.
• Administer the dose: Press and hold the injection button as directed until the dose is fully delivered.
