This is the interactions section of this product’s FDA label — what the manufacturer documented for this drug. It is not a check of your medication list, and a drug missing from it has not been cleared: licensed clinical databases list far more interactions than any single label does. Before combining medicines, ask a pharmacist, who can check everything you take at once and will do it for free.

Drug interactions
Table 1: Clinically Significant Drug Interactions with Glucagon for Injection Beta-Blockers Clinical Impact: Patients taking beta-blockers may have a transient increase in pulse and blood pressure when given Glucagon for Injection. Intervention: The increase in blood pressure and heart rate may require therapy in patients with coronary artery disease. Indomethacin Clinical Impact: In patients taking indomethacin, Glucagon for Injection may lose its ability to raise blood glucose or may even produce hypoglycemia. Intervention: Monitor blood glucose levels during glucagon treatment of patients taking indomethacin. Anticholinergic Drugs Clinical Impact: The concomitant use of anticholinergic drugs and Glucagon for Injection increase the risk of gastrointestinal adverse reactions due to additive effects on inhibition of gastrointestinal motility. Intervention: Concomitant use of anticholinergic drugs with Glucagon for Injection for use as a diagnostic aid is not recommended. Warfarin Clinical Impact: Glucagon for Injection may increase the anticoagulant effect of warfarin. Intervention: Monitor patients for unusual bruising or bleeding, as adjustments in warfarin dosage may be required. Insulin Clinical Impact: Insulin acts antagonistically to glucagon. Intervention: Monitor blood glucose when Glucagon for Injection is used as a diagnostic aid in patients receiving insulin.
