Summary: On this episode of the RLP podcast, I discuss glucagon pharmacology. <br> <br> <br> <br> It is important to remember with glucagon that patients will still require glucose following administration to improve their blood sugar numbers.<br> <br> <br> <br> Glucagon is typically reserved for moderate to severe episodes of hypoglycemia when patients have altered consciousness. <br> <br> <br> <br> The major adverse effect with glucagon is nausea and vomiting which often may prevent oral intake of glucose for some time after administration.
