What is this medication? Gvoke is a prescription medication used for the emergency treatment of severe low blood sugar, also known as hypoglycemia, in adults and children aged two years and older who have diabetes. It is available in several delivery formats, including the HypoPen auto-injector, a pre-filled syringe, and a kit. This medication is specifically intended for situations where blood sugar levels have dropped so low that the individual is unable to eat or drink sugar products due to confusion, loss of consciousness, or seizures.

The active ingredient in this medication is glucagon, a hormone that triggers the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream. By rapidly increasing blood sugar levels, Gvoke helps stabilize the patient during a life-threatening hypoglycemic event. It is designed to be administered by a caregiver or bystander in an emergency setting. Once the injection is given, it is important to seek medical assistance and provide the person with a fast-acting carbohydrate source once they are conscious and able to swallow.
