Part of the wording for Section 4.4 "Special warnings about excipients" has been changed from:

Special precautions should be taken with babies and young children because this fructose intolerance may not yet be diagnosed and may be fatal.

To:

In babies and young children hereditary fructose intolerance may not yet be diagnosed and may be fatal, thus, they should not receive sorbitol-containing solutions.

In other patients in case of inadvertent application and suspicion of fructose intolerance the infusion has to be stopped immediately, normal glycemia has to be re-established and organ function has to be stabilized by means of intensive care.

In Section 8 the part of the MA numbers listed were incorrect.  e.g:

Flebogammadif  0.5g/ml (10ml)   EU/1/07/404/001 should read:

Flebogammadif  50mg/ml (10ml)     EU/1/07/404/001

This change to the MA numbers only affects the SmPC on the emc website - the paper version is correct.
