Frequently asked questions about Glucagen Products
Frequently asked questions about Glucagon
Q. What is Glucagen 1mg Injection used for?
Glucagen 1mg Injection is an emergency injection prescribed to treat severe hypoglycemia (very low blood sugar) in people with diabetes aged 2 years or older when they cannot eat or drink, or need help from someone else.<br>
Q. How quickly does Glucagen 1mg Injection usually work, and what should happen after it is given?
Most people begin to respond within about 15 minutes after receiving Glucagen 1mg Injection, but some may take longer. When the person wakes up or improves, give a fast-acting carbohydrate (for example, fruit juice) to restore blood glucose stores and prevent the low blood sugar from coming back. If there is no improvement after 15 minutes, another device may be used while waiting for emergency help.<br>
Q. Who must not use Glucagen 1mg Injection?
Individuals should not use Glucagen 1mg Injection if they are allergic to glucagon or any of the ingredients, or if they have a tumor of the adrenal gland called pheochromocytoma. Always check the leaflet or ask a clinician if you are unsure.<br>
Q. Can Glucagen 1mg Injection fail to work in some situations?
Yes. Glucagen 1mg Injection relies on stored sugar (glycogen) in the liver to raise blood glucose, so it may not work if the person has been fasting for a long time, has chronic low blood sugar, has adrenal insufficiency, or in alcohol-related low blood sugar. In those situations, glucose given directly by mouth (if safe) or by IV in the hospital may be needed.<br>
Q. What are the common reactions I should expect after Glucagen 1mg Injection is given?
After receiving Glucagen 1mg Injection, nausea and vomiting are the most commonly reported reactions. Headache or a fast heartbeat may also occur. These effects are usually mild , and stop on their own, but vomiting is common enough that the person should be turned on their side if unconscious to prevent choking.<br>
