The FDA is advising U.S. consumers to: Check your personal supply of insulin to determine if you have Levemir insulin vial from one of the following lots: XZF0036, XZF0037, and XZF0038. Patients can locate the lot number on the side of the box of insulin and also on the side of the vial. Do not use your Levemir insulin if it is from one of these lots. Replace it with a vial of Levemir insulin from another lot. If you must switch to another brand of insulin for any reason, first contact your healthcare provider as another insulin product may require adjustments in dosing. Always visually inspect your insulin before using it. Levemir is a clear and colorless solution. Contact the Novo Nordisk Customer Care Center at 800-727-6500 for what to do with vials from these lots or if you have any other questions. Canadians who have this product are advised not to use it, and should consult with a health care professional if they have concerns about their health related to the use of this product. Health Canada advises Canadians to contact the Health Products and Food Branch Inspectorate at 1-800-267-9675 if they find the product listed above in the Canadian marketplace.
