What is Glucagon?

Glucagon for injection is used for diagnostic purposes during radiologic examinations, by temporarily slowing the movement of the gastrointestinal tract.

Glucagon is a hormone that increases blood sugar levels, however it is not indicated for the emergency treatment of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels) because it does not come packaged with a syringe or the liquid needed to prepare it in an emergency.

Glucagon is available as an auto-injector, prefilled syringe, or injection vial.

Glucagon active ingredients

Glucagon is a natural hormone produced by alpha cells in the pancreas in your body. Glucagon stimulates the production of glucose in the liver when you have low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia), this leads to an increase in your blood sugar level.

Outside of the liver, glucagon also causes the smooth muscle in the lining of the stomach, small bowel, and colon to relax. This has the effect of slowing the movement of the gastrointestinal tract.

Glucagon side effects

The most common side effects caused by glucagon include:

• Nausea – feeling sick
• Vomiting
• Stomach pain
• Skin reaction where the injection was given

In rarer instances glucagon can cause more serious side effects. These include:

• Anxiety
• Blurred vision
• Coma
• Confusion
• Depression
• Fast heart rate
• Seizures
• Slurred speech

Glucagon drug interactions

Glucagon can interact with other medications which can affect your blood sugar. Some medicines can make it harder to tell when your blood sugar level is low. When this occurs it can change how glucagon and the other medications work. It can also make some side effects more likely. Tell your prescribing doctor about all drugs you are taking, particularly:

• Acebutolol, atenolol, betaxolol, bisoprolol, carvedilol, labetalol, metoprolol, pindolol, propranolol, sotalol, timolol – treatment for high blood pressure
• Indomethacin – a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain killer
• Warfarin – a blood thinner
