Glucagon is an essential drug, used for the management of hypoglycaemia. Currently available injectable preparations are cumbersome, difficult to use and not easily acceptable by many patients. Injection glucagon is also not available in all parts of the world. Intranasal glucagon offers a novel, effective and convenient mode of delivery of this emergency drug. This review covers the basic and clinical pharmacology of nasal glucagon, and describes its potential use in practice.
