Mechanism of action
This is not an active pharmaceutical agent but rather a research tool used in clinical trials. Physiologic saline (0.9% sodium chloride) is an isotonic solution that mimics the vehicle or diluent of active drugs without therapeutic effect. A glucagon dummy would be a placebo injection designed to match the appearance and administration route of actual glucagon, allowing researchers to maintain double-blind conditions while comparing glucagon's effects against placebo.
