Dasiglucagon

How it works

Glucagon with 7 amino acids swapped to stay liquid in a ready pen: it makes the liver release glucose when blood sugar crashes.

What it's made of

29 amino acids: human glucagon with 7 changes. Natural glucagon barely dissolves in water; these changes keep it stable in liquid, ready in the syringe.

What it's for

Prescribed for

Severe hypoglycemia in people with diabetes, from age 6 (EU and the US label I could read).
