Zegalogue Injection Dosage

Administration Instructions

ZEGALOGUE autoinjector and prefilled syringe are for subcutaneous injection only.

Instruct patients and their caregivers on the signs and symptoms of severe hypoglycemia. Because severe hypoglycemia requires the help of others to recover, instruct the patient to inform those around them about ZEGALOGUE and its Instructions For Use. Administer ZEGALOGUE as soon as possible when severe hypoglycemia is recognized.

Instruct the patient or caregiver to read the Instructions For Use at the time they receive a prescription for ZEGALOGUE. Emphasize the following instructions to the patient or caregiver:

• Administer ZEGALOGUE according to the printed instructions on the protective case label and the Instructions For Use.
• Visually inspect ZEGALOGUE prior to administration. The solution should appear clear, colorless, and free from particles. If the solution is discolored or contains particulate matter, do not use.
• Administer the injection in the lower abdomen, buttocks, thigh, or outer upper arm.
• Call for emergency assistance immediately after administering the dose.
• If there has been no response after 15 minutes, an additional dose of ZEGALOGUE may be administered while waiting for emergency assistance.
• When the patient has responded to treatment, give oral carbohydrates to restore liver glycogen and prevent recurrence of hypoglycemia.
• Do not attempt to reuse ZEGALOGUE. Each ZEGALOGUE device contains a single dose of dasiglucagon and cannot be reused.

Recommended Dosage

The recommended dose of ZEGALOGUE in adults and pediatric patients aged 6 years and older is 0.6 mg administered by subcutaneous injection into the lower abdomen, buttocks, thigh, or outer upper arm.

If there has been no response after 15 minutes, an additional 0.6 mg dose of ZEGALOGUE from a new device may be administered.
