Abstract

Background: A 27 years old non diabetic woman with suicidal liraglutide overdose presented in emergency with nausea, vomiting and burning pain abdomen. Case Presentation: We reported her blood glucose of 54 mg/dl in emergency, have given her 25% dextrose intravenous bolus and started her on 10% dextrose intravenous infusion, with other supportive medications. Her symptoms improved with intravenous glucose infusion and blood glucose level maintained normal in next 24 hours. Her liver function test and serum amylase remained within normal range. Conclusion: In our case one episode of hypoglycaemia was reported in emergency (blood glucose 54mg/dl and drowsiness), though hypoglycaemia was never reported in any previous case report of liraglutide overdose. So, hypoglycaemia, though rare, can still be a possible complication of liraglutide overdose.

Keywords: Liraglutide; Hypoglycaemia.
