The Main Pharmaceutical Inspectorate decided that Octanine F 1000 will disappear from pharmacies across the country. The reason for the recall of the product is that the packaging has a wrong expiry date.
The expiration date was wrong on the packet of powder and solvent for injection. Instead of May 2019, the product showed June 2019. It is exactly the product series K726A2208.
Octanine F is included in the so-called clotting factors and contains human blood clotting factor IX, a protein that increases the ability of blood to clot. It is used to treat and prevent bleeding in patients with a bleeding disorder (haemophilia B). The preparation has a powder to dissolve. Given intravenously (injected into a vein).
