глюкаген 1 мг гипокит

Overdose

If overdosage occurs, the patient may experience nausea, vomiting, inhibition of GI tract motility, increase in blood pressure and heart rate, and decrease in serum potassium. In case of suspected overdosage, monitor and correct hypokalemia. If the patient develops a severe increase in blood pressure, phentolamine mesylate may be effective in lowering blood pressure for the short time that control would be needed.

Contraindications

ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит for Injection is contraindicated in patients with:

• Pheochromocytoma because of the risk of increased blood pressure
• Insulinoma because of the risk of hypoglycemia
• ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКитoma because of the risk of hypoglycemia

Pharmaceutical form

Undesirable effects

The following serious adverse reactions are described below and elsewhere in the labeling:

• Hypertension in patients with Pheochromocytoma
• Hypoglycemia in Patients with Insulinoma and ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКитoma
• Hyperglycemia in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus

The following adverse reactions have been identified from the literature and clinical studies with the use of ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит. Therefore, it is not possible to reliably estimate their frequency.

• Nausea and vomiting occurred with doses above 1 mg administered by rapid intravenous injection (within 1 to 2 seconds). Doses above 1 mg are not recommended for intravenous use.
• Hypotension was reported up to 2 hours after administration in patients receiving ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит as premedication for upper GI endoscopy procedures.
• A temporary increase in both blood pressure and pulse rate occurred following the administration of ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит. Patients taking beta-blockers experienced a temporary increase in both pulse and blood pressure that was greater than normal.
• Other adverse reactions included hypoglycemia and hypoglycemic coma, as described in postmarketing reports. Patients taking indomethacin may be more likely to experience hypoglycemia following ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит administration.

Therapeutic indications

ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит for Injection is indicated for use as a diagnostic aid during radiologic examinations to temporarily inhibit movement of the gastrointestinal tract.

ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит for Injection is not indicated for the emergency treatment of hypoglycemia because it is not packaged with a syringe and diluent necessary for rapid preparation and administration during an emergency outside of a healthcare facility.

Pharmacodynamic properties

Table 3 displays the pharmacodynamics properties of ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит for Injection as a diagnostic aid during radiologic examination.

Special warnings and precautions for use

Included as part of the PRECAUTIONS section.

ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит for Injection is contraindicated in patients with pheochromocytoma because ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит may stimulate the release of catecholamines from the tumor, which may result in a sudden and marked increase in blood pressure.

ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит for Injection is contraindicated in patients with insulinoma or ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКитoma as it may cause secondary hypoglycemia. Test patients suspected of having ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКитoma for blood levels of ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит prior to treatment, and monitor for changes in blood glucose levels during treatment. If a patient develops symptoms of hypoglycemia after a dose of ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит for Injection, administer glucose orally or intravenously.

Treatment with ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит for Injection in patients with diabetes mellitus may cause hyperglycemia. Monitor diabetic patients for changes in blood glucose levels during treatment. If patients develop symptoms of hyperglycemia after a dose of ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит for Injection, administer insulin.

ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит for Injection may increase myocardial oxygen demand, blood pressure, and pulse rate which may be life-threatening in patients with cardiac disease. Cardiac monitoring is recommended in patients with cardiac disease during ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит treatment, and an increase in blood pressure and pulse rate may require therapy.

Generalized allergic reactions and hypersensitivity, including generalized rash, and anaphylactic shock with breathing difficulties, and hypotension, have been reported with ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит treatment or lactose. Discontinue ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит for Injection and administer standard treatment for anaphylaxis if needed.

Long term studies in animals to evaluate carcinogenic potential have not been performed.

Synthetic ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит was negative in the bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test). The clastogenic potential of synthetic ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит in the Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) assay was positive in the absence of metabolic activation. Doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg of ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит of both pancreatic and recombinant origins gave slightly higher incidences of micronucleus formation in male mice but there was no effect in females. The weight of evidence indicates that synthetic and recombinant ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит are not different and do not pose a genotoxic risk to humans.

ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит (rDNA and synthetic origin) was not tested in animal fertility studies. Studies in rats have shown that pancreatic ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит does not cause impaired fertility.

Reproduction studies were performed in rats and rabbits with another ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит product at doses of 0.4, 2, and 10 mg per kg. These doses represent exposures of up to 100 and 200 times the human dose based on mg/m² for rats and rabbits, respectively, and revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus. There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит does not cross the human placental barrier.

It is not known whether ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит is administered to a nursing woman. No clinical studies have been performed in nursing mothers, however, ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит is a peptide and intact ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит is not absorbed from the GI tract. Therefore, even if the infant ingested ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит it would be unlikely to have any effect on the infant. Additionally, ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит has a short plasma half-life thus limiting amounts available to the child.

Safety and effectiveness of ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит for Injection have not been established in pediatric patients for use as a diagnostic aid during radiologic examinations to temporarily inhibit movement of the gastrointestinal tract.

Dosage (Posology) and method of administration

Determine the dose based on the type of diagnostic procedure, the route of administration and expected procedure duration.

The usual dose to inhibit movement of the:

• Stomach and small bowel is 0.2 mg to 0.5 mg given intravenously or 1 mg given intramuscularly.
• Colon is 0.5 mg to 0.75 mg given intravenously or 1 mg to 2 mg given intramuscularly.

Bolus doses above 1 mg administered intravenously have caused nausea and vomiting and are not recommended.

ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит for Injection is a lyophilized powder, which requires reconstitution with Sterile Water for Injection prior to intravenous or intramuscular use.

• Using a syringe, withdraw 1 mL of Sterile Water for Injection and inject into the vial containing ГлюкаГен 1 мг ГипоКит for Injection lyophilized powder.
• Shake the vial gently until the powder is completely dissolved and no particles remain in the reconstituted solution.
