This information is required by the pharmaceutical manufacturers who will supply the medication, so it is important to make sure this information is accurate and up to date.

We will review the information that you have provided to determine whether you are eligible for patient assistance. If we can pre-qualify you for assistance, NiceRx will handle the full enrollment process on your behalf. If you are approved by the pharmaceutical company, you will typically start receiving your medication in 6 – 8 weeks.

What is Proglycem?

Proglycem is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Teva Branded Pharm. Proglycem increases blood sugar by slowing the release of insulin from the pancreas.

Proglycem is used to treat low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) caused by certain cancers or other conditions that can make the pancreas release too much insulin. Proglycem is for use in adults, children, and young infants. Proglycem is not recommended to treat occasional low blood sugar caused by diet.

What doses of Proglycem are available?

Proglycem is available in capsule form, in the following doses: 50 mg.

Proglycem is available in oral suspension form, in the following doses: 50 mg/mL, in a chocolate-mint flavor.

Proglycem is taken every 8 to 12 hours. Take the dose with a dropper that comes with the medication at the same time each day. Proglycem begins to work within 1 hour, its effects can last up to 8 hours. Your blood sugar will need to be checked often, and your urine may also need to be tested for ketones.

Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light. Read the drug 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.
