Dasiglucagon Disease Interactions

There are 3 disease interactions with dasiglucagon.

Major

Glucagon (applies to dasiglucagon) insulinoma

Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.

The use of glucagon is contraindicated in patients with insulinoma or glucagonoma as it may cause secondary hypoglycemia. Test patients suspected of having glucagonoma for blood levels of glucagon prior to treatment, and monitor for changes in blood glucose levels during treatment. If a patient develops symptoms of hypoglycemia after a dose of glucagon, administer glucose orally or intravenously.

Major

Glucagon (applies to dasiglucagon) pheochromocytoma

Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.

The use of glucagon is contraindicated in patients with pheochromocytoma because glucagon may stimulate the release of catecholamines from the tumor, which may result in a sudden and marked increase in blood pressure.

Moderate

Glucagon (applies to dasiglucagon) glycogen depletion

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Adrenal Insufficiency, Malnourished, Panhypopituitarism

Glucagon reverses hypoglycemia via mobilization of hepatic glycogen. It is not useful for treating hypoglycemic patients who are glycogen-depleted, a condition that can occur in starvation, adrenal insufficiency, or chronic hypoglycemia. Glucose administration should be considered in such cases.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
