What is Gvoke PFS?

Gvoke PFS (glucagon injection) is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured for Xeris Pharmaceuticals, Inc. by Pyramid Laboratories, Inc.

Gvoke contains glucagon, a hormone that increases blood sugar levels. It is an antihypoglycemic agent indicated for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) in pediatric and adult patients with diabetes ages 2 years and above.

What doses of Gvoke PFS are available?

Gvoke PFS is available in injection form, in the following doses:

• 0.5 mg/0.1 mL single-dose pre-filled Gvoke HypoPen auto-injector
• 1 mg/0.2 mL single-dose pre-filled Gvoke HypoPen auto-injector
• 0.5 mg/0.1 mL single-dose prefilled syringe
• 1 mg/0.2 mL single-dose prefilled syringe

Depending on whether your doctor prescribes the Gvoke prefilled syringe or HypoPen auto-injector, the instructions for use will differ. Both forms are injected subcutaneously (under the skin) of your upper arm, stomach, or thigh, as follows:

• For the HypoPen auto-injector – Pull off the red cap and push the exposed yellow end into your skin until you hear a click. Hold the auto-injector in place for 5 seconds until the window turns red
• For the prefilled syringe – Pull the cap off the syringe. Then pinch your skin, and insert the needle at a 90-degree angle. Push the plunger all the way down

The recommended dose for adults and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older is 1 mg. The recommended dose for pediatric patients aged 2 to under 12 years of age is weight dependent.

Administer Gvoke according to the printed instructions on the foil pouch label, carton, or the instructions for use. Administer the injection in the lower abdomen, outer thigh, or outer upper arm. Call for emergency assistance immediately after administering the dose. When the patient has responded to treatment, give oral carbohydrates.

Do not reuse Gvoke. Each device contains a single dose of glucagon and cannot be reused. If there has been no response after 15 minutes, an additional weight-appropriate dose of Gvoke from a new device may be given while waiting for emergency assistance. Store Gvoke at room temperature, 68° to 77°F (20° to 25°C).

Read the full prescribing information and always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
