1. What Albunorm 20% is and what it is used for

Albunorm 20% belongs to the pharmacotherapeutic group: blood substitutes and plasma protein fractions.

The product is administered to patients to restore and maintain circulating blood volume when a volume deficiency has been demonstrated.

2. What you need to know before you use Albunorm 20%

Do not useAlbunorm 20%

If you are allergic to human albumin preparations or to any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6) Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before using Albunorm 20%.

Be especially careful with Albunorm 20%

  • If you have a special risk due to an increase in blood volume, for example, in cases of severe heart disease, arterial hypertension, dilated veins in the esophagus, fluid in the lungs, coagulation disorders, severe decrease in red blood cells or absence of urine.
  • When there are signs of increased blood volume (headache, respiratory disorder, jugular vein congestion) or increased blood pressure. The infusion should be stopped immediately.
  • When there are signs of an allergic reaction. The infusion should be stopped immediately.
  • When used in patients with severe head injury due to trauma.

Virus safety

When human blood or plasma-derived medicines are administered, the occurrence of diseases due to the transmission of infectious agents cannot be completely excluded. This also applies to the possible transmission of pathogens of unknown nature. However, the risk of transmission of infectious agents is reduced by:

  • Donor selection through medical examination.
  • In individual donations and plasma pools, the presence of markers for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and hepatitis B virus (HBV) is ruled out.
  • In plasma pools, the presence of genetic material used by HCV to reproduce is ruled out.
  • Validated inactivation/removal procedures included in the production process. These procedures are considered effective for HIV, HCV, hepatitis A virus (HAV), and HBV.

The inactivation/removal procedures may have limited value for non-enveloped viruses such as parvovirus B19 and other transmissible infectious agents.

Albunorm 20% contains albumin manufactured according to the specifications and processes established in the European Pharmacopoeia and is therefore considered a safe product with regard to virus transmission.

It is strongly recommended that, each time you receive a dose of Albunorm 20%, you note the name and batch number of the product, in order to maintain a record of the batches used.

Using Albunorm 20% with other medicines

To date, no interactions between human albumin and other products are known. However, Albunorm 20% solution should not be mixed in the same infusion with other medicines, whole blood, or red blood cell concentrates. Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or might use any other medicine.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Human albumin is a normal constituent of human blood. No harmful effects are known when this product is used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Special attention should be paid to adjusting blood volume in pregnant women.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medicine.

Driving and using machines

There is no indication that human albumin alters the ability to drive or use machines.

Albunorm 20% contains sodium

3. How to use Albunorm 20%
