  Prescribed amount
  |
  1 mL/hour = 20 microgram/kg/hour
  |
  1 mg/kg (1 mL/kg) glucagon to make up to 50 mL
  |
  Add 1 mL of diluent provided (water for injection) to the 1 mg vial (1000 microgram of glucagon) to make a 1mg/mL solution.
  FURTHER DILUTE
  Draw up 1 mL/kg (1 mg/kg of glucagon) of the above solution and make up to a final volume of 50 mL with glucose 5% to make a final concentration of 20 microgram/kg/mL.
  Infusing at 1 mL/hour = 20 microgram/kg/hour.

  Administration
  |
  Do not use the reconstituted solution unless it is clear.
  IV bolus: Administer 0.2 mL/kg of the reconstituted solution (to a maximum 1 mL) over 3 to 5 minutes.
  IM: Inject into the anterolateral thigh (preferred) or the ventrogluteal areas [1, 2].
  SC: Inject into the area over the deltoid muscle or over the anterolateral thigh [1, 3].
