Levemir Insulin (Novo Nordisk)

Audience: Patients, pharmacists, diabetes healthcare professionals [Posted
06/13/2009]

FDA notified patients and healthcare professionals that some stolen vials of
the long-acting insulin
Levemir made by Novo Nordisk Inc. are being sold in the U.S. market, may not
have been stored and
handled properly, and may be dangerous for patients to use. The agency is
advising patients who use
Levemir insulin to:

•     Check your personal supply of insulin to determine if you have
Levemir
insulin from one of the
following lots: XZF0036, XZF0037, and XZF0038.

•     Do not use your Levemir insulin if it is from one of these lots.

•     Always visually inspect your insulin before using it. Levemir is a
clear and colorless solution.

•     Contact the Novo Nordisk Customer Care Center at 1-800-727-6500 for
what to do with vials
from these lots or if you have any other questions.
