Thanks everyone, I don’t know why I never thought about it before but I think I’ve left a lot until the last minute in case the trip got cancelled like last year and now it’s coming around quickly
I do not know what question you asked to get this answer.Le escribimos en relación con una consulta sobre datos de estabilidad que solicita, Novo Nordisk no tiene estudios específicos de la degradación de Tresiba por su exposición a radiación gamma/rayos X.
Sentimos comunicarle que, de hecho, no se han realizado estudios en los que los productos de NN hayan sido expuestos a máquinas de rayos X, por lo tanto, no sabemos si los rayos X pueden afectar al producto. Por este motivo, le indicamos que evite que el producto sea expuesto al escáner.
Sobre la exposición específica a los rayos X del aeropuerto de las insulinas: Los niveles de radiación en los puntos de control de seguridad no son los mismos en todos los aeropuertos y también cambian con frecuencia según el "nivel de seguridad". Normalmente, los rayos-X que se utilizan para registrar el equipaje de mano no dañarán la insulina. Sin embargo, si el equipaje permanece expuesto a rayos X durante más tiempo de lo normal o si el equipaje se expone a rayos X de manera repetida, la insulina puede perder potencia.
Por ello, mientras viaja se recomienda que lleve su insulina en la mano en los puntos de control de seguridad del aeropuerto y se advierte que soliciten una inspección manual de su insulina.
Por todo lo anterior, nuestra recomendación es que no exponga su insulina a radiación X si el paciente pretende administrarse después el producto, ya que no sabemos cómo puede afectar esta exposición a la seguridad y eficacia del producto en humanos.
Muchas gracias.
We are writing to you in relation to a query regarding stability data that you request, Novo Nordisk does not have specific studies of the degradation of Tresiba due to its exposure to gamma radiation/x-rays.
We are sorry to inform you that, in fact, there have been no studies where NN products have been exposed to X-ray machines, therefore we do not know if X-rays can affect the product. For this reason, we advise you to avoid exposing the product to the scanner.
Regarding insulins' specific airport X-ray exposure: Radiation levels at security checkpoints are not the same at all airports and also change frequently depending on the "security level." Normally, the X-rays used to check carry-on luggage will not harm insulin. However, if the luggage is exposed to X-rays for longer than normal or if the luggage is exposed to X-rays repeatedly, the insulin may lose potency.
Therefore, while traveling it is recommended that you carry your insulin in your hand at airport security checkpoints and are advised to request a manual inspection of your insulin.
For all of the above, our recommendation is that you do not expose your insulin to X-radiation if the patient intends to administer the product later, since we do not know how this exposure may affect the safety and effectiveness of the product in humans.
Thank you so much
This is the translation that Google provided (apologies if it is not accurate but I do not speak Spanish and, as you have noticed, the usual language on the forum is English).
The way I read this, there is nothing that says you cannot take insulin through security x-rays. It says, they have performed no testing. However, as the rest of this thread says, many of us have done so many times with no issues.
Exactly, do you know why? Because no one wants to open a can of worms! If this is made much of the marketing information, that is a lye, is gone be put on the bin! Example, does glargine (lantus) have an effect of 24 hours? Or really it is only 18 to 20 hours of action. Etc in order types of insulin.It says, they have performed no testing.
However, as the rest of this thread says, many of us have done so many times with no issues.
I fight for my rights and due to that sometimes I struggle with difficulties on life, and one of plenty, is the ignorance of the security agent's of the security tunnels of airports, that give me the phrase exactly as yours, "everyone passes it without problem".Feel free to take the insulin in your hand if you feel it is necessary but I have never had the need to do so.
