🔹 Product Overview
GLUGON 1 mg Injection is an emergency prescription medicine used for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia (very low blood sugar levels), especially when a person with diabetes is unable to take glucose orally. It contains Glucagon 1 mg, a hormone that helps increase blood glucose levels by stimulating the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream.
GLUGON 1 mg is generally used in emergency situations under medical guidance and may be administered by healthcare professionals or trained caregivers as instructed.
