Baqsimi During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant before using Baqsimi Nasal Powder; it is not expected to harm a fetus. It is unknown if Baqsimi Nasal Powder passes into breast milk. Glucagon is a peptide and would be expected to be broken down to its constituent amino acids in an infant’s digestive tract and is therefore unlikely to cause harm to an exposed infant. Consult your doctor before breastfeeding.
