💊 Glucagon

💊 This is information only, not a prescription. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist before taking any medicine. For an overdose or poisoning, call 102.

How it works

Glucagon increases blood glucose concentration by activating hepatic glucagon receptors, thereby stimulating glycogen breakdown and release of glucose from the liver. Hepatic stores of glycogen are necessary for glucagon to produce an antihypoglycemic effect.

🚨 Overdose or poisoning

For a suspected overdose or poisoning, call 102 now and go to the nearest emergency hospital.
