WHAT BAQSIMI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Baqsimi contains the active substance glucagon, which belongs to a
group of medicines called
glycogenolytic hormones. It is used to treat severe hypoglycaemia
(very low blood sugar) in people
with diabetes. It is for use in adults, adolescents, and children aged
4 years or older.
Glucagon is a natural hormone produced by the pancreas. It works in
the opposite way to insulin and
raises blood sugar. It does this by converting stored sugar in the
liver called glycogen to glucose (a
form of sugar that the body uses for energy). The glucose then enters
the bloodstream and raises the
blood sugar level, so reducing the effects of hypoglycaemia.
You should always carry Baqsimi with you and tell your friends and
family that you are carrying it.
