Updated: 

Gvoke is a prescription medication used to treat very low blood sugar (severe hypoglycemia) in adults and children with diabetes. Glucagon, the active ingredient in Gvoke, belongs to a group of drugs called glycogenolytic agents. It is a hormone that works by causing the liver to release stored sugar to the blood.

This medication comes as a clear, colorless injectable solution to be injected subcutaneously (just under the skin). Gvoke is available in prefilled syringes and auto-injector devices.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and reaction at the injection site.
