Detaljerad miljöinformation
The use of amino acids/peptides/proteins has been considered to result in an insignificant environmental impact.
According to the European Medicines Agency guideline on environmental risk assessments for pharmaceuticals (EMA/CHMP/SWP/4447/00), vitamins, electrolytes, amino acids, peptides, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vaccines and herbal medicinal products are exempted because they are unlikely to result in significant risk to the environment.
It is expected that any administered monoclonal antibody is completely metabolized and absorbed in the body. Any medicinal product that reaches water streams via spills during an application or after disposal of the unused drug, is expected to be very rapidly degraded and mineralized to CO2 by microbial activity.
