FDA Warning for Levemir Insulin

The FDA has issued a warning that stolen vials of Levemir insulin, a Novo Nordisk Inc. product are currently being sold in the United States. These vials may not have been stored and handled properly, and could possibly be dangerous for patients to use. The FDA 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.

The FDA is asking that anyone who has vials of Levemir from these lots contact the Novo Nordisk Customer Care Center at 1-800-727-6500.
