No information is available on the clinical use of glucagon during breastfeeding. Because glucagon is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of 3483 Da, the amount in milk is likely to be very low and absorption is unlikely because it is probably destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract. Glucagon has also been safely given directly to infants by injection. No special precautions are required.
