The FDA approved Gvoke Kit for the treatment of hypoglycemia in pediatric and adult patients with diabetes 2 years of age and older. The ready-to-use, room temperature, stable liquid glucagon is administered into the lower abdomen, outer thigh, or outer upper arm, and does not require reconstitution.
