Emerade adrenaline pen users urged to swap brands
Patients who carry a certain type of Adrenaline auto-injector pen are being told to contact their GP or pharmacy to swap to a new brand.
Emerade 300 and 500 microgram auto-injector pens, which treat anaphylaxis, are being recalled after some failed to deliver the dose of Adrenaline .
The pens are prescribed for people with severe, life-threatening allergies.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) says users should ask for alternative brands.
These include EpiPen or Jext. People are also advised to seek help on How To use The Replacement pen.
Patients should return their Emerade pens only once they have received a replacement. It is estimated around 25,000 people may have one.
Similar concerns with Emerade pens failing to inject have been raised.
Some of the main triggers of a severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis requiring Adrenaline injections include foods such as nuts and milk, medicines, insect stings and Latex .
, Adrenaline should be administered if a person starts to feel lightheaded or faint, has breathing difficulties and a fast heartbeat.
Dr Alison Cave, MHRA chief safety officer, said: " We Are taking prompt action to protect patients, following detection of damage to internal components of the Emerade pens if they are dropped, which may mean they activate too early or fail to activate and deliver Adrenaline .
" Patients are reminded to carry two pens with them at all times as normal and to contact their healthcare professional when a replacement is due. "
