Baqsimi Information

Baqsimi at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Brand Baqsimi (glucagon nasal powder) is manufactured by Eli Lilly in many countries worldwide, including Canada. The generic glucagon nasal powder is currently unavailable at this pharmacy.

Dosage:

The brand Baqsimi is available as a 3 mg single-use nasal device.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

Baqsimi (glucagon nasal powder) is a prescription medication primarily used to treat severe hypoglycemia (very low blood sugar) in adults and children with diabetes. It is an emergency treatment that rapidly raises blood sugar when a person is unconscious or can't take glucose orally. Severe hypoglycemia is usually a complication of diabetes. It can also be caused by certain medications, excessive alcohol consumption, hormone deficiencies, certain illnesses, or rare tumors.

Mechanism of Action:
Baqsimi (glucagon nasal powder) is an antihypoglycemic agent. It is administered intranasally and provides a quick-acting rescue option when oral glucose or food cannot be taken. Baqsimi stimulates the liver to release its stored glucose into the bloodstream.

Use Baqsimi exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the Patient Information Leaflet accompanying the medication. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking Baqsimi, it is essential to discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects:

The information below outlines potential side effects associated with Baqsimi (glucagon nasal powder). It is not an exhaustive list, and individual reactions can vary. This information is for educational purposes and should not replace professional medical advice. Before starting Baqsimi, it is crucial to discuss possible side effects and risks with your doctor or pharmacist.

Common side effects - These are common side effects of Baqsimi; others are possible. Contact your doctor promptly if any side effects persist, worsen, or concern you, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms.
• Headache;
• Nasal discomfort, burning, or tingling;
• Nausea;
• Redness of eyes or facial flushing;
• Stuffy or runny nose;

• Watery or irritated eyes

Serious or rare side effects- Seek immediate medical attention or call emergency services if you experience any of the following:
• Severe vomiting leading to dehydration;
• Signs of high blood pressure, including severe headache and chest pain;
• Signs of severe allergic reaction, including rash, swelling, and breathing troubles;
• Sudden fast heartbeat

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before starting Baqsimi, it is essential to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, as well as all medications you are currently taking, with your doctor or pharmacist.

Baqsimi should not be used if:
• You have a known allergy to glucagon nasal powder or any of the ingredients in the medication.
• You have a tumor of the adrenal gland called pheochromocytoma
• You have a tumor of the pancreas called insulinoma

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, past and present, before starting Baqsimi. This is crucial because certain conditions can affect whether Baqsimi is right for you. These conditions may include, but are not limited to:
• Heart conditions
• Poor adrenal or pancreatic function
• Unexplained low blood sugar episodes

Drug Interactions:

Before taking Baqsimi, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete and up-to-date information, refer to the highlights of prescribing information.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. It is also essential to inform your doctor about any herbal teas, recreational drugs, or significant dietary changes you are making, as these could potentially interact with Baqsimi. Baqsimi may interact with other medicines, but is not limited to:
• Anticholinergic nasal medications – may worsen nasal irritation
• Beta-blockers (e.g., propranolol) – may cause increased blood pressure and pulse when combined with glucagon
• Indomethacin may reduce the effectiveness of glucagon in raising blood sugar
• Insulin and other diabetes medications – Baqsimi raises blood sugar, effectively counteracting the effects of these lowering agents during a severe hypoglycemic episode. Medical follow-up is necessary after use to prevent recurrent low blood sugar.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

Limited data suggest Baqsimi is likely safe during pregnancy, primarily since it is used for urgent treatment of severe hypoglycemia. There is no evidence of harm to the fetus when glucagon is used in emergencies. Baqsimi is also considered likely safe during breastfeeding. A single emergency dose is not expected to affect a nursing infant. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant, it is crucial to consult your doctor immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions about Baqsimi at Canada Pharmacy Online:

Why is Baqsimi more affordable in Canada than in the United States?

Prescription drug prices, including Baqsimi, are generally lower in Canada than in the U.S. due to a combination of factors, primarily government price regulations, differing market dynamics, and other economic considerations. In Canada, provincial and federal governments negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies, which often results in lower prices than in the U.S., where market forces play a more significant role.
