適応症:

Therapeutic Treatment of severe hypoglycaemic reactions, which may occur in the management of diabetic patients receiving insulin or oral hypoglycaemic agents. To prevent the occurrence of secondary hypoglycaemia, oral carbohydrate should be given to restore the hepatic glycogen when the patient has responded to the treatment. The mechanism and hence treatment of sulfonylurea-induced hypoglycaemia differs from that of severe insulin-induced hypoglycaemia in some important ways. Consciousness should preferably be restored by the administration of intravenous glucose. If glucagon is used due to the unavailability of intravenous glucose (e.g. before reaching a hospital) care should be taken to protect against secondary hypoglycaemia with constant monitoring of the patient's blood sugar level by medical personnel. Subsequent administration of intravenous glucose may be required.

GlucaGen
®
HypoKit
, powder and solvent for solution for injection.
2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
Glucagon (rys) 1 mg/ml as hydrochloride, produced by genetic
engineering from yeast
(_Saccharomyces cerevisiae_). For full list of excipients see section
6.1.
3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM
White crystalline powder (which may appear more like a powdery tablet
upon settling) and
clear colourless solvent for solution for injection. After
reconstitution of glucagon with the
solvent (Sterilised Water for Injections), each syringe contains
glucagon 1 mg/ml.
4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
Therapeutic indications
_Therapeutic _
Treatment of severe hypoglycaemic reactions, which may occur in the
management of
diabetic patients receiving insulin or oral hypoglycaemic agents.
To prevent the occurrence of secondary hypoglycaemia, oral
carbohydrate should be given
to restore the hepatic glycogen when the patient has responded to the
treatment.
The mechanism and hence treatment of sulfonylurea-induced
hypoglycaemia differs from
that of severe insulin-induced hypoglycaemia in some important ways.
Consciousness
should preferably be restored by the administration of intravenous
glucose. If glucagon is
used due to the unavailability of intravenous glucose (e.g. before
reaching a hospital) care
should be taken to protect against secondary hypoglycaemia with
constant monitoring of the
patient’s blood sugar level by medical personnel. Subsequent
administration of intravenous
glucose may be required.
_ _
_Diagnostic _
Motility inhibitor in examinations of the gastrointestinal tract in
adults, e.g. double contrast
radiography and endoscopy.
4.2
Dose and method of administration
Before reconstitution the powder should be a white or nearly white
powder (which may
appear more like a powdery tablet upon settling). The solvent should
be clear and colourless
without particles.
The freeze dried glucagon should be dissolved in the accompanying
diluent. Inject the water
for injections (1.1 mL) into the via
