SCALP VEIN SET OR BUTTERFLY NEEDLES GAUGE 25 COLOR ORANGE

Laennec is the ethical drug manufactured with JBP’s unique technologies for effective extraction of variety of growth factors, cytokines, and other physiologically active substances from the human placenta. For instance, HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) promotes the proliferation of hepatic parenchymal cells for recovery of a damaged liver. Our product safety is ensured by the most rigid safety measures among existing scientific standards.


DescriptionThis product is a light yellow-brown or yellow-brown clear liquid with a distinctive odor. The pH level ranges from 5.5 to 6.5 and the osmotic pressure ratio (to physiological saline) is approximately one.

IndicationsImprovement of hepatic function in chronic hepatic disease.

Dosage and administrationThe normal adult dose is a 2 ml subcutaneous or intramuscular injection once daily. According to symptoms, the dose can be increased to 2 or 3 times daily.

Packaging2 ml 50 ampoules

Cautions for use**
1. Careful AdministrationLAENNEC should be administrated with care in patients predisposed to allergies.

2. Important Basic CautionsThis product is manufactured from the extract of human placenta delivered full-term in Japan. In order to screen each donor, a complete medical history, interviewing such as a history of travel and serologic testing for viruses, bacteria and infection are performed, after nucleic-acid testing (NAT) to meet with requirements for HBV-DNA, HCV-RNA and HIV-1-RNA is carried out. In addition, it has been confirmed that high-pressure steam sterilization for 20 minutes at 121 °C during the manufacturing process is effective in inactivating various viruses such as HIV etc. Furthermore, although in the product test, the nucleic-acid test meets with requirements for HBV-DNA, HCV-RNA, HIV-1-RNA, HTLV-DNA, and parvovirus B19-DNA, patients should be made aware of the following points during administration: To date, the transmission of infection, such as variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), by administration of this product in Japan or other countries has not been reported. However, although safety measures are taken to prevent infection during the manufacturing process, it is theoretically impossible to fully eliminate the risks of infection transmission originating in a human placenta used as raw material. While safety measures during the manufacturing process to prevent infection, as well as confirmation of the necessity of treatment for the disease before administration are carried out, doctors should explain to patients and try to have them understand that when human placenta is used as the raw material of a product, the risk of infection cannot be fully ruled out.

3. Drug Interactions

When this product is directly mixed with a strong base preparation of pH 8.5 or more, attenuation of pharmacological activity has been reported.No co administration with this product resulting in the enhancement or attenuation of the pharmacological effect of this product or concomitant drugs, appearance of adverse reactions, or aggravation of disease has been reported.Adverse reactions or patients who were suspected to have suffered adverse reactions to this product were reported in a total of 10 (3.7 %) of the 273 patients selected for safety evaluation in the clinical study performed during implementation of reevaluation of the drug efficacy. The most frequently observed adverse reactions were injection site pain in 7 patients (2.6 %), hypersensitivity (such as rash, fever, and itching) in 1 patient (0.4 %), injection site indurations in 1 patient (0.4 %), and gynaecomastia in 1 patient (0.4 %). The causal relationship between gynaecomastia and this product is unknown.

No abnormal changes in laboratory values were observed.1)• Clinically significant adverse reactions**Shock (incidence unknown):Since this product is a protein/amino acid preparation derived from human tissue, this product may cause a shock. If any signs of abnormality are observed, the drug should be discontinued immediately, appropriate measures should be taken and the condition should be monitored fully.• Other adverse reactions (in descending order of occurrence)
