1. What is Berinert and what is it used for

What is Berinert?

Berinert is presented as a powder and solvent. The prepared solution should be administered by subcutaneous injection.

Berinert is prepared from human plasma (the liquid part of the blood). The active substance is human C1 esterase inhibitor protein, obtained from plasma.

What is Berinert used for?

Berinert is used for the prevention of recurrent attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in adolescent and adult patients. Hereditary angioedema is a congenital vascular disease. It is not an allergic disease. HAE is caused by insufficient, absent, or defective synthesis of C1 esterase inhibitor, which is an important protein. The disease is characterized by the following symptoms:

  • sudden swelling of hands and feet,
  • sudden swelling of the face with a feeling of tightness,
  • swelling of the eyelids, lips, possible swelling of the larynx (voice organ) with breathing difficulties,
  • swelling of the tongue,
  • colic-like pain in the abdominal region.

Generally, all parts of the body can be affected.

Doctor consultation

Not sure if this medicine is right for you?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before you use Berinert

The following sections contain information that your doctor should consider before administering Berinert to you.

Do not use Berinert:

  • If you have experienced life-threatening immediate hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to C1 esterase inhibitor or to any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to any medicine or any food.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to use Berinert,

    Berinert administration should be discontinued immediately (e.g., by interrupting the injection).
  • If you have a history of blood coagulation problems. Blood clots have occurred in patients treated with Berinert intravenously. The use of Berinert at very high doses in diseases other than HAE could increase the risk of blood clots. However, in the case of subcutaneous Berinert, there is no established relationship with blood clots at the recommended dose. Consult your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel disease, infarction, blood clots, or thick blood, a permanent catheter/access device in one of your veins, or have been immobilized for some time. These situations may increase the risk of developing a blood clot after using Berinert. Also, inform your doctor about the medications you are using, as some medications, such as contraceptives or certain androgens, may increase the risk of developing a blood clot.

Your doctor will carefully weigh the benefits of treatment with Berinert against the risk of these complications.

Viral safety

When administering medicines derived from human blood or plasma, certain measures must be taken to prevent infections from being passed on to patients. Such measures include:

  • careful selection of blood and plasma donors to exclude those who are at risk of being carriers of infectious diseases, and
  • testing for specific virus and infection markers in individual donations and plasma pools.

Manufacturers of these products also include stages in the processing of blood or plasma to eliminate/inactivate viruses. Despite this, when administering medicines derived from human blood or plasma, the possibility of transmitting infectious agents cannot be entirely excluded. This also applies to emerging or unknown viruses or other types of infections.

The measures taken are considered effective for enveloped viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, the AIDS virus), hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus (liver inflammation), and for non-enveloped viruses such as hepatitis A virus (liver inflammation) and parvovirus B19.

It is possible that your doctor may recommend vaccination against hepatitis A and B if you are treated periodically/repeatedly with human plasma-derived medicines.

It is strongly recommended that each time Berinert is administered, the administration date, batch number, and injected volume be recorded.

Using Berinert with other medicines

  • Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or might use any other medicines, including those without a prescription.
  • Berinert should not be mixed with other medicines and diluents in the same syringe.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

Driving and using machines

Berinert does not affect your ability to drive and use machines.

Berinert contains sodium

This medicine contains less than 23 mg of sodium (1 mmol) per vial; this is essentially "sodium-free".

3. How to use Berinert

Berinert is indicated for self-administration by subcutaneous injection. You or your caregiver should be trained, as necessary, on how to administer Berinert.

Pediatric population

The recommended dose is the same as for adults.

If your doctor decides that you can treat yourself at home, he/she will give you detailed instructions. You will be given a diary where you will record each injection administered at home, which you will bring with you every time you visit the doctor. You or your caregiver will be regularly reviewed on how to administer the injections to ensure that you are doing them correctly over time.

General instructions
