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.
