Gvoke Glucagon Injection 1 mg Per 0.2 mL Syringe with Vial
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.
