Directions
Warnings
Do not use if you have ever had an allergic reaction to GlucaGen® HypoKit
Talk to your doctor if you have any other medical conditions, take any other medicines, or if you fast.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any other medicines, including any medicines, vitamins or supplements that you buy without a prescription from your pharmacy, supermarket or health food shop.

Do not use GlucaGen® HypoKit if you have:

• Phaeochromocytoma (a rare tumour of the adrenal gland that raises blood pressure)
• Glucagonoma (a pancreatic tumour that causes increased levels of glucagon)
• Insulinoma (a tumour that causes increased levels of insulin)

GlucaGen® will not work properly if:

• You have been fasting for a long time
• You have low levels of adrenaline
• You have chronic hypoglycaemia
• You have hypoglycaemia caused by drinking too much alcohol
• You have a tumour that releases glucagon or insulin.

Check with your doctor if:

• Any of the previous points apply to you
• You are taking a sulfonylurea tablet to treat your diabetes.

Tell your doctor before you are given GlucaGen® HypoKit in connection with medical investigations of your gastrointestinal tract if you:

• Have diabetes
• Have a heart condition.

GlucaGen® HypoKit should not be given via intravenous infusion.

You should not use or be given GlucaGen® HypoKit if:

• It does not look like a powder or powdery tablet before adding the water
• The powder does not dissolve properly after adding the water, or the solution looks like a gel
• The expiry date (“Expiry”) printed on the pack and on the vial has passed
• The packaging is damaged or shows signs of tampering, the tamper-proof plastic caps of the vials are loose or missing, or the cover on the syringe needle is missing.

During treatment, you may be at risk of developing certain side effects. It is important you understand these risks and how to monitor for them.

GlucaGen® does not cross the human placenta and may be used in the treatment of a severe hypo during pregnancy.

While breast-feeding, very small amounts of glucagon may reach the mother’s milk if she is treated with glucagon for a severe hypo. However, any glucagon in the milk will be broken down in the baby’s digestive tract making it harmless. Breast-feeding following treatment of a severe hypo with GlucaGen® HypoKit does not put your baby at risk.

Store Glucagen HypoKit below 25°C and in the original package in order to protect from light. Do not freeze, as this may cause damage to the glass syringe
