Stolen
This is a public health alert about a recent theft that happened right in the middle of a drug transport, and the same has been stolen.
A bunch of injectable medications from the big pharmaceutical company, Novo Nordisk, were stolen while being moved from their Bhiwandi hub to several cities.
These cities include Nagpur, Raipur, Cuttack, and Kolkata.
The drugs in question are pretty special—they’re made using rDNA origin technology and have to be kept super cold, specifically between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius.
If they get too warm, their quality can go down the drain, which could be really dangerous for the people who need them.
What’s Gone Missing?
The stolen stash includes several important medications, some of which are for managing diabetes and others for weight loss.
Details of the drugs with batch numbers:
- Ryzodeg™ FlexTouch®: This is an insulin solution for injection. The batch number is RT6GY96.
- Fiasp® Penfill® and Fiasp® FlexTouch®: Both are insulin solutions. Their batch numbers are RR726A8 and RP5P640, respectively.
- Wegovy® FlexTouch®: This is a semaglutide injection for different dosages (0.5mg, 0.25mg, and 1mg). The batch numbers for these are RP5S233, RP5S232, and RP5S210.
Official Advice for Everyone
