Warnings

The recommended dose of Baqsimi (Glucagon) nasal is 3 mg (one actuation of the device), into one nostril.

Baqsimi (Glucagon) is intended to be used in an emergency. Your doctor or pharmacist should instruct you on proper use of the medication. Also refer to the information pamphlet provided with the medication.

The dose is administered by inserting the tip of the device into one nostril, then pressing the plunger on the device in until the green line is no longer showing. The dose is absorbed through the skin in the nostril. It should only be used in the nose.

After administering the dose, call for emergency medical help.

Once the person responds to the medication, and as soon as they can safely swallow, they should be encouraged to consume a fast acting sugar such as candy, orange juice, or regular pop to prevent blood sugar from dropping too low again. After this they should eat a longer-acting source of sugar such as crackers and C.E.S., peanut butter, or a sandwich with meat.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important to take Baqsimi (Glucagon) exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

Keep Baqsimi (Glucagon) in its shrink-wrapped packaging until needed. Store Baqsimi (Glucagon) at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
