Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the thing to keep in mind: Zegalogue (dasiglucagon) is your rescue medicine for a serious low blood sugar. It works the opposite of most diabetes drugs by telling your liver to dump stored sugar back into your blood to bring you up fast. Coriander, on the other hand, has shown a mild blood-sugar-lowering effect, but only in lab and animal studies, so this is really a theoretical concern.

In practice, the everyday amounts you eat in cooking won't fight against your emergency dose. With concentrated coriander extracts or oils, there's a chance they could nudge your sugar a little lower, which matters more for your daily diabetes medicines than for a one-time rescue shot. If you use coriander supplements regularly, mention it to your pharmacist or doctor so they can watch your numbers.

“Dasiglucagon (Zegalogue) is an emergency injection that rapidly raises blood sugar during a severe diabetic low, so a supplement list this large deserves genuine care. All 239 interacting ingredients act through blood glucose, and most of them lower it, deepening the very crashes this drug exists to reverse.”
