What is Glucagon used for?

Baqsimi is primarily used for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, in both adults and children. It is designed for use when a person is unconscious or unable to swallow. Baqsimi works by stimulating the liver to release stored glucose, quickly raising blood sugar levels.

What precautions apply to Glucagon?

Baqsimi should be used strictly as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to store the medication properly and ensure it is within its expiration date.

What does Glucagon interact with?

Baqsimi may interact with other medications, including those that affect blood sugar levels. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking before using Baqsimi.
