GLUCAGON LAWSUIT WHITEPAPER

About Glucagon Lawsuit

Eli Lilly and Company voluntarily recalled lot D239382D, expiration April 2022 of their Glucagon Emergency Kit for Low Blood Sugar on September 25, 2021. The affected lot number and expiration date can be found on the label of the kit and on the vial.

Lilly’s investigation indicated that the liquid in the vial could be related to the manufacturing process. Glucagon is a hormone that is taken to control blood sugar levels in the body. The drug is taken by diabetes patients to treat very low blood sugar (severe hypoglycemia).

Eli Lilly announced that there was a report that one patient experienced seizures. Therefore, the drug was not potent enough and made it ineffective.

Eli Lilly is facing multiple lawsuits for the alleged manufacturing defects.
