GlucaGen HypoKit 1mg is an emergency glucagon injection kit used to treat severe hypoglycaemia (dangerously low blood sugar) when a person is unable to eat or drink, including cases where the patient is unconscious.

It contains glucagon, a hormone that stimulates the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream, helping to raise blood sugar levels during a hypoglycaemic emergency.

Designed for emergency use, the kit includes glucagon powder and a solvent for reconstitution before injection. It is administered by intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous (SC) injection, according to the product instructions and medical guidance.
