Gvoke Glucagon Injection 1 mg Per 0.2 mL Syringe with Vial is an emergency injectable medication for severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) in people 6 years old and above who have diabetes. This includes people who take insulin (glucose-lowering medication). Gvoke Glucagon is given when oral glucagon, another type of glucagon medicine, is not available. When hypoglycemia is severe and emergency medical care is not available, Gvoke Glucagon Injection 1 mg Per 0.2 mL Syringe with Vial may be used. Gvoke Glucagon works by raising blood sugar levels. It helps to restore mental alertness and prevent seizures or coma associated with severe hypoglycemia. The dose of Gvoke Glucagon Injection 1mg Per 0.2 mL Syringe with Vial is based on the person's body weight. Gvoke Glucagon is available in prefilled syringes and ready-to-use vials. Each Gvoke Glucagon Injection 1mg Per 0.2 mL Syringe with Vial is meant to be used once and only for a single dose. Gvoke Glucagon should be used in combination with other treatments for severe hypoglycemia as directed by your healthcare provider.

Gvoke reduces the steps to prepare and administer glucagon in the event of severe hypoglycemia (i.e., dangerously low blood sugar levels). This innovation is designed to provide the reliability of a ready-to-use liquid glucagon while making it easier for patients or caregivers to administer quickly and simply. Studies demonstrated 100% treatment success* in children and 99% treatment success in adults. Usability research evaluating the Gvoke PFS and Gvoke HypoPen demonstrated 99% success rates in administering a full dose of glucagon using the simple two-step administration process.2,3

Severe hypoglycemia occurs when your blood sugar gets so low that you need help bringing it back up. Sometimes people with very low blood sugar may have a hard time thinking straight or controlling their body, get very tired, refuse to eat, pass out, or even have a seizure. It is an emergency situation that must be treated immediately.

FAQs about Glucagon injections
  • What Does a Glucagon Injection Do?

    Glucagon injection works by rapidly increasing blood glucose levels. When injected, it stimulates the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose and release it into your bloodstream—providing immediate relief from dangerously low blood sugar. This effect makes glucagon a critical emergency medication for hypoglycemia, especially when the person cannot eat or drink glucose-replenishing foods.

  • Fast-Acting Relief: How Quickly Does a Glucagon Injection Work?

    Most users experience increased blood glucose levels within 10-15 minutes of glucagon administration. This quick response is vital in emergency situations, preventing unconsciousness, seizures, or long-term complications associated with severe hypoglycemia.

  • Can You Buy Glucagon Over the Counter?

    No, glucagon injections are a prescription-only medication in most countries, including the United States. They must be prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider and dispensed by a pharmacy. Always consult your doctor about having a glucagon emergency kit at home if you or your loved one is at risk for hypoglycemia.

  • Is Glucagon the Same as Ozempic?

    No, glucagon and Ozempic are not the same. Glucagon is a rescue medication for emergency hypoglycemia; Ozempic (semaglutide), by contrast, is a GLP-1 receptor agonist used for blood glucose lowering and weight management in Type 2 Diabetes. They serve different purposes in diabetes management.

  • How Much Is a Glucagon Injection?

    The price of glucagon injections can vary depending on insurance, brand, and location, but typically ranges from $200-$350 per emergency kit (which usually includes one or two prefilled syringes or auto-injectors). Many insurance plans cover glucagon; discount coupons are often available.

  • Who Should Not Use Glucagon?

    Contraindications: People with pheochromocytoma Individuals with insulinoma Those allergic to glucagon or any component of the formulation. Consult your healthcare provider before use to determine if glucagon is right for you.

  • What Foods Contain Glucagon?

    Glucagon is not found in food. It is a hormone produced naturally by the pancreas. Certain foods can stimulate glucagon secretion (ex: protein-rich foods), but to rapidly treat hypoglycemia, glucagon must be injected. Foods containing sugar/carbohydrates increase blood glucose directly, but are not substitutes for glucagon in emergencies.

  • What is the Alternative to Glucagon Injections?

    Alternatives to glucagon injections include: Nasal glucagon spray (Baqsimi®) Intravenous dextrose/intramuscular glucose (used in hospitals) Oral fast-acting glucose (not feasible if patient is unconscious) Ask your doctor about the best option for you or your child.

  • Where Can You Inject Glucagon?

    Inject glucagon intramuscularly or subcutaneously (under the skin) in any of the following sites: Upper arm Thigh Buttock For best absorption and rapid action, these areas are recommended. Always follow provided instructions or your healthcare provider's guidance.

  • What Causes Hypoglycemia?

    Common causes of hypoglycemia include: Overuse of insulin or diabetes medications Skipping meals / low carbohydrate intake Excessive alcohol intake Intense physical activity without proper nutrition

  • Is Glucagon Good or Bad for You?

    Glucagon is safe and life-saving when used as prescribed. It is critical in treating severe hypoglycemia. Side effects (nausea, vomiting) are rare and short-lived compared to the risks of untreated low blood sugar.

  • What Does Glucagon Do to Non-Diabetics?

    In non-diabetics, glucagon administration will slightly increase blood sugar, but is usually unnecessary. It is not harmful, but should not be used unless directed by a healthcare provider.
