IPNet drug reports
One very well documented report of an attack requiring hospitalisation and treatment with heme arginate in a 39 year old susceptible female with AIP. However the patient also had an infection with fever that just as well could have caused the attack. Uneventful use reported in 4 patients with acute porphyria.

Tradenames and packages
From some sources, we get a list of packages (United Kingdom, Ireland, Estonia).
Other sources contain more or less "clean" versions of the trade name (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Lithuania, Norway).
What you see here is the raw data we get from each country, so there will appear to be duplicates. The bold names
are the searchable terms. The gray names that follow are all mapped to the bolded term.
Note: The cleaning is done automatically by a proprietary algorithm, and it may produce errors.
We strive to improve it continuously.
