Glucagon Emergency Kit
Glucagon injection is a fast-acting emergency medication used to treat dangerously low blood sugar levels in people with diabetes, especially when they are unconscious or unable to eat or drink. It works by signaling the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream, helping to quickly restore normal blood sugar levels. Glucagon is typically used when oral sugar intake is not possible and is often kept on hand by caregivers or in emergency kits for rapid intervention during severe hypoglycemic episodes.
- Primarily used for the emergency treatment of severe hypoglycemia in diabetic patients
- Activates liver receptors, causing the breakdown of glycogen into glucose
- Should be kept at room temperature
- Immediate medical attention is required after administration

Glucagon Emergency Kit Medication Description
Glucagon injection is a critical emergency medication used to rapidly reverse severe hypoglycemia in individuals with diabetes, especially when they are unconscious or unable to ingest sugar orally. It mimics the natural hormone glucagon, which is produced by the pancreas and plays a key role in glucose regulation. When injected, glucagon binds to receptors in the liver, triggering the breakdown of glycogen—a stored form of glucose—into free glucose that is released into the bloodstream. This action helps restore blood sugar levels quickly, often within 15 minutes. Glucagon is available in multiple formulations, including injectable kits and nasal powder, and can be administered by caregivers or medical professionals. Its effectiveness depends on the presence of adequate glycogen stores in the liver, making it less effective in cases of prolonged fasting or liver disease. -
Glucagon Emergency Kit Side Effects
Glucagon injection is generally well tolerated, but it can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, headache, and swelling or redness at the injection site. Serious allergic reactions are rare but may include difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, and hives. Patients should be monitored for signs of persistent low or high blood sugar after administration. It is important to follow up with medical care immediately after use, especially if symptoms do not improve within 15 minutes. Caregivers should be trained in proper administration and aware of the signs of adverse reactions. -
