Hemlibra 30mg Injection

Hemlibra 30mg Injection contains the active constituent Emicizumab. It belongs to the class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It is used to treat patients with haemophilia A who have developed factor VIII inhibitors. It is also indicated to treat severe haemophilia A who have not developed factor VIII inhibitors (the FVIII blood level is less than 1%). Haemophilia A is an inherited condition caused by a lack of factor VIII, an essential substance required for blood to clot and stop bleeding. Monoclonal antibodies are a type of protein that recognise and bind to a target in the body. The medicine prevents bleeding or reduces bleeding episodes in patients with this condition. Do not take Hemlibra 30mg Injection if you are allergic to Emicizumab or any other ingredients. Before you start using this medicine, it is very important to discuss with your doctor the use of any other medications. Inform your physician immediately if bleeding occurs after taking this medicine. This medicine is used in all age groups. Do not administer this injection where the skin is red, bruised, tender, hard, or in areas where there are moles or scars.

Hemophilia A

Hemlibra 30mg Injection binds to activated factor IX and factor X to restore function to the coagulation cascade and promote hemostasis. It restores the function of missing activated factor VIII, which is needed for effective blood clotting. Its structure differs from factor VIII; therefore, the medicine is unaffected by factor VIII inhibitors.

Hemlibra 30mg Injection will be given by injection under the skin (subcutaneous). Your doctor or nurse or other healthcare professional will show you how to inject the medicine.
