Information of potential product deviation of NovoSeven® 2mg in the market

A Dear Healthcare Professional Letter has been issued by Novo Nordisk Pharma to inform healthcare professionals of an issue on a specific production line that is manufacturing NovoSeven® 2 mg and resulted in the under-filling of some of NovoSeven® 2mg. The likelihood of a patient receiving an under-filled vial is very low. This is due to extensive manual inspections during production, as a result of which, most under-filled vials were identified and removed before release. Based on the NovoSeven® label, clinical patient monitoring is necessary. When required, repeated dosing is recommended to achieve haemostasis as per the NovoSeven® label. Healthcare professionals are advised to refer to the letter for dosing details. Please refer to the letter for details.
