The GlucaGen® HypoKit® contains a vial, or bottle, with 1 mg (1 unit) of glucagon powder, as well as a disposable syringe filled with sterile water. The entire contents of the syringe is mixed with the glucagon in the vial before giving the injection. People weighing more than 55 lbs. get the full dose, less than 55 lbs. get half the 1mg dose.
