Indication²

BAQSIMI^TM is indicated for the treatment of severe hypoglycemic reactions which may occur in the management of insulin treated patients with diabetes mellitus, when impaired consciousness precludes oral carbohydrates.

Clinical use:²

BAQSIMI has not been studied in pediatric patients below the age of 4.

Limited clinical trial experience has not identified difference in responses between elderly (≥65 years of age) and younger patients.

Contraindications:²

Most serious warnings and precautions:²

Lack of response: BAQSIMI should be given only in patients where impaired consciousness precludes oral carbohydrates. After intranasal administration of BAQSIMI, the patient will normally respond within 15 minutes. If the patient does not respond within 15 minutes, intravenous glucose must be administered as soon as possible.

States of starvation, adrenal insufficiency or chronic hypoglycemia: because glucagon is of little or no help in these cases, intravenous glucose should be used for the treatment of hypoglycemia in these conditions.

Other relevant warnings and precautions:²
