GLUCAGON KIT (GLUCAGON)

Glucagon Kit for Treating Hypoglycemia Quickly

Glucagon Kit carries an injectible glucose that can be injected by you or another individual that is knowledgeable about administering a needle and to recognize the signs of a diabetic person in distress from low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Whoever is responsible for injecting Glucagon should be instructed on how to administer it safely and properly. To purchase it, you must obtain a valid prescription from your doctor.

How Glucagon Kit Can Help to Restore Blood Sugar Level

Glucagon Kit is administered to quickly increase blood sugar levels in diabetics with hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) who are not able to take a quick source of sugar orally. It is provided as an injectible device that signals the body to release glucose into the bloodstream and bring your blood sugar level back up. The injection is given the same way as insulin, into the buttock, upper arm, or in the thigh. Whatever seems to be the easiest to access in order to quickly raise blood sugar.

More Information About Hypoglycemia

You may need to carry Glucagon Kit if you are prone to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or if you take an insulin medication for diabetes. Low blood sugar is characterized by a number of tell-tale symptoms, including dizziness, confusion, headache, and pounding heartbeat. Most often, it develops either because of excess insulin usage or because of inadequate carbohydrate intake. Glucagon Kit acts quickly to correct your levels, and should relieve your symptoms as a result, but it cannot cure hypoglycemia.

Before You Need to Use a Glucagon Kit

To be safe, once you learn how to administer Glucagon, teach other family members in case you are unable to do so yourself. Ask your doctor if Glucagon Kit is safe to use on a person that is pregnant, may have become pregnant, or is breast feeding. Before using the Glucagon kit, make sure your doctor is aware of other medical conditions or allergies you have and list any current OTC or Rx drugs you take, including herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements. This can help to determine if Glucagon is the right hypoglycemic drug for your situation.

Proper Use of Glucagon Kit

Glucagon Kit is only meant for hypoglycemic individuals who cannot eat or who have become unconscious. Do not use the medication if you are allergic to lactose, or if you have a tumor affecting the pancreas or adrenal glands. Once Glucagon has been injected and you regain consciousness or feel well enough, you should eat a fast-acting source of sugar. Glucagon Kit may interact with certain beta-blocker and bronchodilator medications, so use these only as per your doctor’s instructions. Keep your Glucagon out of children’s reach but available to those trained in how to use the kit.
