Description

Glucagon Diagnostic 1 mg/3 mL NVP is a sterile, injectable solution used as a diagnostic aid and for emergency treatment of severe hypoglycemia. The active ingredient, glucagon, is a peptide hormone that raises blood glucose levels by stimulating glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in the liver. This product is supplied in a ready-to-use prefilled syringe, simplifying administration during critical situations or diagnostic procedures.

In diagnostic applications, glucagon is utilized to temporarily inhibit gastrointestinal motility, aiding imaging studies such as radiologic examinations of the stomach, duodenum, and small bowel. It is particularly valuable in providing clear visualization during barium or endoscopic procedures. As a therapeutic agent, glucagon is effective in reversing severe hypoglycemia in patients unable to ingest carbohydrates or respond to oral interventions.

Glucagon Diagnostic 1 mg/3 mL is intended for subcutaneous, intramuscular, or intravenous injection, depending on the clinical situation. Its rapid onset of action makes it suitable for emergency use. The dosing must be carefully monitored. Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, and mild allergic reactions, though serious adverse effects are rare.
