What the Health Canada label says it is for
1 INDICATIONS BAQSIMI is indicated for the treatment of severe hypoglycemic reactions which may occur in the management of insulin treated patients with diabetes mellitus, when impaired consciousness precludes oral carbohydrates. 1.1 Pediatrics Pediatrics (<18 years of age): BAQSIMI is indicated in children 4 years and above. BAQSIMI has not been studied in pediatric patients less than 4 years of age. The number of pediatric patients (4 to <18 years) included in the clinical trials is limited (n=48) (see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Special Populations, DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, and CLINICAL TRIALS). 1.2 Geriatrics Geriatrics (≥65 years of age): Clinical studies of BAQSIMI did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over. Limited clinical trial experience with BAQSIMI has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients (see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Special Populations; DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION; and ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY). https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00074561.PDF PM date: not printed or not captured Source product: BAQSIMI; DIN 02492415; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.
