As a healthcare professional I honestly have never seen this combination. My best guess would be that perhaps a patient who is unresponsive with unknown causes would be given both effectively treating narcotic overdose and hypoglycemia, two frequent reasons of unresponsiveness.
What else can I help you with?
Can insulin or glucagon be given in pill form?
Cannot.Both are protein hormones.So they are digested by gastric juice.
Which hormone antagonizes glucagon?
Insulin antagonizes glucagon. Insulin is released by the pancreas in response to high blood sugar levels, and it works to lower blood sugar levels by promoting the uptake of glucose by cells and inhibiting the release of glucose from the liver. This is in contrast to glucagon, which is released when blood sugar levels are low and works to increase blood sugar levels by promoting the release of glucose from the liver.
What produces the hormones insulin and glucagon?
The pancreas produces enzymes and insulin.
What happens if the body produces too much glucagon?
What happens if I have too much glucagon?Rare tumours of the pancreas called glucagonomas can secrete excessive quantities of glucagon. This can cause diabetes mellitus, weight loss, venous thrombosis and a characteristic skin rash. What happens if I have too little glucagon?Unusual cases of deficiency of glucagon secretion have been reported in babies. This results in severely low blood glucose which cannot be controlled without administering glucagon. Glucagon can be given by injection to restore blood glucose lowered by insulin (even in unconscious patients). It can increase glucose release from glycogen stores more than insulin can suppress it. The effect of glucagon is limited, so it is very important to eat a carbohydrate meal once the person has recovered enough to eat safely.

No, glucagon is not an enzyme. Glucagon is a hormone.
