C1-esterase inhibitor, human<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is Berinert?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Berinert consists of a powder and a diluent, which are prepared into a finished solution. The solution is then given as an injection or infusion into a vein. Berinert is made from human plasma (the liquid part of the blood). It contains the human protein et C1 esterase inhibitor as an active ingredient. What is Berinert used for?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Berinert is used to treat, and prevent surgery, edema that occurs in hereditary angioedema type I or II (HAE, edema = swelling). HAE is a congenital disease of the blood vessels. It is a non-allergic disease. HAE is caused by a lack, absence of, or a defective synthesis of C1 esterase inhibitors, which is an important protein. The disease is characterized by the following symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In general, all parts of the body can be affected. Berinert may also be approved for the treatment of other diseases not mentioned here. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professional if you have any further questions and always follow their instructions. The following sections contain information that your doctor should consider before taking Berinert. Do not use Berinert:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to any medicine or to any food.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Berinert:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your doctor will carefully consider the benefits of treatment with Berinert compared to the risk of the above complications. Virus security<\/em><\/strong><\/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 Manufacturers of these products also include steps in the handling of blood and plasma that can inactivate or secrete any viruses. 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 unknown or new viruses and other types of infection. The measures taken are considered effective against enveloped viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV which causes AIDS ), hepatitis B, hepatitis C virus ( inflammation of the liver), and against non-enveloped viruses such as hepatitis ( inflammation of the liver) and parvovirus B19. Your doctor may suggest vaccination against hepatitis A and B if you are regularly \/ repeatedly treated with human plasma-derived preparations. It is strongly recommended that the date of administration, batch number, and injected volume be recorded each time you receive Berinert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No studies on the ability to drive and use machines have been performed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Berinert contains up to 486 mg sodium (approximately 21 mmol) per 100 ml. This should be considered if you have been prescribed a low-salt diet. Treatment should be initiated and supervised by a physician experienced in the management of C1-esterase inhibitor deficiency. Dosage<\/strong> Adults<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For the treatment of acute angioedema attacks:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 20 IU per kilogram body weight (20 IU \/ kg body weight). IU = IE (International Units) Preventive treatment of angioedema attacks before surgery:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1000 IU less than 6 hours before medical, dental, or surgical procedure. Children and young people<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For the treatment of acute angioedema attacks:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 20 IU per kilogram body weight (20 IU \/ kg body weight). Preventive treatment of angioedema attacks before surgery:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 15 to 30 IU per kilogram body weight (15-30 IU \/ kg body weight) less than 6 hours before medical, dental, or surgical procedure. Dose one should be chosen taking into account clinical conditions (eg type of procedure and severity of the disease). If you use more Berinert than you should<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Preparation and method of administration<\/strong> Berinert is usually injected into a vein ( intravenously ) by your doctor or nurse. You or your assistant can also administer Berinert as an injection, but only after appropriate training has been completed. If your doctor decides that home treatment may be appropriate for you, he\/she will give you detailed instructions. You will be asked to keep a diary to document each treatment you receive at home and to take it with you to your doctor’s visits. Your or your assistant’s injection technique will be reviewed periodically to ensure continued proper handling. General instructions<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Preparation<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Without opening the vials, warm the Berinert powder and solution to room temperature. This can be done either by leaving the vials at room temperature for about 1 hour or by holding them in your hand for a few minutes. DO NOT expose the vials to direct heat. The vials should not be warmed above body temperature (37 \u00b0 C).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carefully remove the protective caps from the vials. Clean the rubber stoppers on both vials with an alcohol swab and allow to dry. The solvent can now be transferred to the powder using the administration set (Mix2Vial). Follow the instructions below. Filling the syringe and administration <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Administration<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The solution should be given by slow intravenous (iv) injection or infusion (4 ml\/minute).
