While chemically distinct, Zegalogue (dasiglucagon) functions similarly to glucagon by raising blood sugar levels during a severe hypoglycemic event. Unlike older glucagon kits that require mixing, Zegalogue is a modern, ready-to-use formulation designed for more rapid and reliable administration. In the past decade, the introduction of next-generation glucagon options has significantly improved the ease of use and speed of treating low blood sugar emergencies.

According to a 2022 budget impact model, severe hypoglycemic events can lead to millions in healthcare costs annually, but quick and effective treatment with modern glucagon analogs can reduce these expenses. Dasiglucagon is a novel, ready-to-use glucagon analog specifically designed for this purpose, eliminating the complex reconstitution process of older emergency kits and providing a rapid, reliable rescue treatment for severe hypoglycemia.
