Baqsimi is a nasal powder approved by the FDA for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes. It contains glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels, and is used when a quick increase in blood sugar is necessary, such as during a hypoglycemic event. It is designed for easy administration without injection.

How is this medication used?

Baqsimi is administered by blowing the powder into the nose of the person experiencing severe hypoglycemia. It does not require inhalation, as it is absorbed through the nasal lining. Only use Baqsimi as directed by a healthcare provider. The standard dose is one spray in one nostril.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, upper respiratory tract irritation, watery eyes, redness of the eyes, and itching of the nose or throat. Rare but more serious side effects may include high blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.

What are the potential interactions?

Baqsimi may interact with medications that are also affected by blood sugar levels, such as insulin or oral diabetes medications. Beta-blockers may mask the symptoms of hypoglycemia and can also affect how well Baqsimi raises blood sugar. Let your healthcare provider know all the medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
