GlucaGen Hypokit Caution For Usage

Instruction for use, handling and disposal: Reconstitution: The reconstituted GlucaGen should be used immediately after preparation.
1. Remove the plastic cap from the vial. Pull the needle cover off the syringe. Do not remove the plastic back-stop from the syringe. Insert the needle through the rubber stopper (within the marked circle) of the vial containing GlucaGen and inject all the liquid from the syringe into the vial.
2. Without taking the needle out of the vial, gently shake the vial until GlucaGen has completely dissolved, and the solution is clear.
3. Make sure the plunger is completely down. While keeping the needle in the liquid, slowly withdraw all the solution back into the syringe. Do not pull the plunger out of the syringe. See How much to use as follows.
4. Make an air shot and inject.
How much to use: The usual dosage for severe hypoglycaemia: Adults and children above 25 kg or older than 8 years: 1 ml, marked as 1.0 on the syringe.
Children below 25 kg or younger than 8 years: ½ ml, marked as 0.5 on the syringe.
Note that a syringe with a thinner needle and a finer graduation may be more suitable for use in diagnostic procedures.
Any unused medicinal product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.
