WHAT OGLUO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Ogluo 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 2 years or older.
Ogluo is a ready-to-use, pre-filled pen that contains a single dose of
the active substance, glucagon. It
is a subcutaneous injection, meaning that the medicine is administered
under the skin using a needle.
Glucagon is a natural hormone produced by the pancreas, which has the
opposite effect of insulin in
the human body. It helps the liver to convert stored sugar in the
liver called ‘glycogen’ into glucose
(sugar). Glucose is then released into the blood stream, which makes
the blood sugar level rise,
reducing the effects of hypoglycaemia.
INFORMATION ON HYPOGLYCAEMIA
Early symptoms of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) include:
•
sweating
•
drowsiness
•
dizziness
•
sleep disturbances
•
palpitation
•
anxiety
•
tremor
•
blurred vision
•
hunger
