NAFDAC alerts the public of the illegal circulation and marketing of a substandard and falsified Knowit Insulin Syringe 40 IU 29g X 1/2 in Nigeria.

The Association of Community Pharmacists of Nigeria (ACPN) raised concern regarding the ongoing use of 40 IU/ML insulin syringes despite the availability of 100 IU/ML insulin syringes.

The 40iu/ml Insulin syringe was previously approved alongside the 100iu/ml for administering Lente animal insulins because of its presentation in both strengths.

However, with the discontinuation of animal insulins and the advent of human insulins whose strengths are streamlined to 100 iu/ml, the 40iu/ml insulin syringe is no longer applicable and not registered anymore by NAFDAC as it could cause dosing errors with serious adverse consequences on diabetic patients using them.
