Indication and Select Important Safety Information for CNJ-016^庐聽[Vaccinia Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human)] (VIGIV)

WARNING: INTERACTIONS WITH GLUCOSE MONITORING SYSTEMS
Blood glucose measurement in patients receiving Vaccinia Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human) (VIGIV) must be done with a glucose-specific method (monitor and test strips) to avoid interference by maltose contained in VIGIV. Maltose in IGIV products may give falsely high blood glucose levels in certain types of blood glucose testing systems (for example those based on the GDH-PQQ or glucose-dye-oxidoreductase methods) resulting in inappropriate administration of insulin and life-threatening hypoglycemia. Cases of true hypoglycemia may go untreated if the hypoglycemic state is masked by falsely elevated glucose readings. (See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning)

VIGIV is an Immune Globulin (Human), 5% Liquid, indicated for the treatment of complications due to vaccinia vaccination including eczema vaccinatum, progressive vaccinia, severe generalized vaccinia, vaccinia infections in individuals who have skin conditions, and aberrant infections induced by vaccinia virus (except in cases of isolated keratitis). VIGIV is not indicated for postvaccinial encephalitis.

VIGIV is contraindicated in isolated vaccinia keratitis, individuals with a history of anaphylactic or severe systemic reaction to human globulins, and IgA-deficient patients with antibodies against IgA and a history of IgA hypersensitivity.

Warnings and Precautions

• Hypersensitivity to human immune globulin (acute anaphylaxis)
• Acute renal dysfunction/failure
• Thrombosis may occur with immune globulin products, including VIGIV. For patients at risk of thrombosis, administer VIGIV at the minimum dose and infusion rate practicable. Ensure adequate hydration in patients before administration. Monitor for signs and symptoms of thrombosis and assess blood viscosity in patients at risk for hyperviscosity
• Hemolysis or hemolytic anemia
• Aseptic meningitis syndrome (AMS)
• Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema [Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI)]
• Transmission of infectious agents from human plasma
• Monitor renal function and urine output in patients at risk of renal failure; check baseline blood viscosity in patients at risk of hyperviscosity; and conduct confirmatory tests if hemolysis or TRALI is suspected
