Novo Nordisk Ltd. is recalling seven batches of GlucaGen HypoKit due to a small number of needles being detached from the syringe. It would not be possible to use a syringe with a detached needle which could cause a delay in emergency treatment of severe hypoglycaemia.

Action must be taken within 48 hours.

Patients are asked to return their GlucaGen HypoKit to their community pharmacy for a replacement pack.
