Virus security<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n When medicines are made from human blood or plasma, special measures are taken to prevent the transmission of infection to patients. This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Careful selection of blood and plasma donors to ensure that people at risk of being infected are excluded<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Test of individual donations and plasma pools for signs of virus\/infection<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Production steps in the processing of blood and plasma that can inactivate or secrete viruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nevertheless, the risk of transmission of infection can not be completely ruled out when drugs made from human blood or plasma are given. This also applies to new, hitherto unknown viruses and other types of infections .<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are no reports of virus transmission with albumin produced according to European Pharmacopoeia specifications and established procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you are given Albumin Octapharma, it is recommended that the product name and batch number be registered to enable tracking of the product used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Human albumin is a normal component of human blood. No adverse effects are known when using this product during pregnancy. Blood volume must be adjusted in pregnant women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Human albumin is a normal component of human blood. No adverse effects are known when using this product during breast-feeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no evidence that human albumin affects the ability to drive or use machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – This medicine contains 15 mmol sodium per 100 ml solution. This should be considered for patients prescribed a low-salt diet. Tell your doctor if this applies to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – This medicine contains less than 1 mmol potassium per 100 ml solution, ie essentially ‘potassium-free’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No interactions between human albumin and other products are known to date. However, albumin Octapharma solution should not be mixed with other medicines, whole blood, or concentrated red blood cells in the same injection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription. The albumin Octapharma is ready for use as an infusion (“drip”) into a vein. Dose one and the infusion rate (how fast you are given albumin in a vein) depends on your particular condition. Your doctor will decide which treatment is best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The product can be given to premature babies and dialysis patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If dose one and the infusion rate are too high, you may experience headaches, high blood pressure, and difficulty breathing. Infusion one should be stopped immediately and your doctor will decide if any other treatment is necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all medicines, Albumin Octapharma can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Side effects after infusion of human albumin are rare and usually disappear when the infusion rate is reduced or the infusion is stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rare side effects are<\/strong> (by less than 1 in 1000):<\/p>\n\n\n\n Low blood pressure or allergic reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rare side effects are<\/strong> (by less than 1 in 10 000 patients):<\/p>\n\n\n\n Severe allergic reaction, confusion, headache, unusually fast or slow pulse, high blood pressure, hot flashes, shortness of breath, nausea, hives, swelling around the eyes, nose, mouth, increased sweating, fever, chills.
