Important Safety Information

Contraindications

  • Do not use in patients who have had life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to Novoeight® or its components, including hamster proteins

Warnings and Precautions

  • Anaphylaxis and severe hypersensitivity reactions are possible. Patients may develop hypersensitivity to hamster proteins, which are present in trace amounts in the product. Should symptoms occur, discontinue Novoeight® and administer appropriate treatment
  • Development of activity-neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) may occur. Previously untreated patients (PUPs) are at greatest risk for inhibitor development with all factor VIII products. Inhibitors have been reported following administration of Novoeight in PUPs. If expected plasma factor VIII activity levels are not attained, or if bleeding is not controlled with an appropriate dose, perform testing for factor VIII inhibitors

Adverse Reactions

  • The most frequently reported adverse reactions (≥1%) were inhibitors in Previously Untreated Patients (PUPs), injection site reactions, and pyrexia.
