Soy and Dasiglucagon Hydrochloride

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

ANTIDIABETES DRUGS

Why this applies to Dasiglucagon Hydrochloride

Dasiglucagon Hydrochloride falls under ANTIDIABETES DRUGS — the group Soy interacts with.

Soy can lower blood glucose and have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs.
Clinical research shows that whole soy diets and soy-based meals reduce fasting glucose levels in diabetic and non-diabetic individuals. Also, individuals following a soy-based meal replacement plan seem to require lower doses of sulfonylureas and metformin to manage blood glucose levels when compared with individuals following a diet plan recommended by the American Diabetes Association.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence A

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 that makes this pair a little unusual. The interaction on file says soy can gently lower blood sugar, which adds to most diabetes medicines. But Zegalogue (dasiglucagon) actually does the opposite job. It's a rescue medicine you use for a severe low, telling your liver to dump stored sugar back into your blood to bring you up quickly.

So soy isn't going to make dasiglucagon dangerous. If anything, regularly eating soy may nudge your everyday blood sugar a touch lower, which could make a bad low more likely in the first place. The dasiglucagon itself should still work to rescue you. Common effects after a dose are nausea, vomiting, and headache. If you eat a lot of soy or use concentrated isoflavone supplements, mention it to your pharmacist or doctor so your overall diabetes plan stays on track.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Dasiglucagon Hydrochloride page

“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.”

About Soy

What is Soy?

  • Menopause symptoms (hot flashes)
  • Heart and cholesterol health
  • Bone health
  • Plant-based protein source
  • General nutrition

Soy is a nutritious bean that is a staple food and a popular source of plant protein and isoflavones. Eating soy foods as part of a balanced diet is generally considered safe for most people, and there is moderate evidence it may modestly help cholesterol and some menopause symptoms, though results vary. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using concentrated soy isoflavone supplements, especially if you have a history of hormone-sensitive conditions.
