• > **Pheochromocytoma Warning**: Glucagon should usually not be used in patients with pheochromocytoma as catecholamines may be released leading to hypertension. * **Insulinoma Caution**: When used for insulinoma, it must be in a setting where blood glucose can be closely monitored. It can stimulate insulin production, potentially leading to greater rebound hypoglycemia once the drug is discontinued. * **Pregnancy/Nursing**: FDA Category B in humans. As an endogenously produced hormone, it is unlikely to cause significant risk to offspring or nursing young.
