Hemlibra 60mg Injection

Hemlibra 60mg Injection contains emicizumab, a monoclonal antibody. It is indicated for patients with haemophilia A who have developed factor VIII inhibitors, and for patients with severe haemophilia A who have not developed factor VIII inhibitors (factor VIII blood level less than 1%). Haemophilia A is an inherited disorder resulting from deficiency of factor VIII, a substance essential for blood clotting and haemostasis. Monoclonal antibodies are proteins that recognise and bind to specific targets in the body. This medicine reduces bleeding episodes in patients with this condition.

Do not use Hemlibra 60mg Injection if you are allergic to emicizumab or any other ingredients in the formulation. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor of all other medications you are taking. Report to your physician immediately if bleeding occurs following administration of this medicine. This injection may be used across all age groups. Do not inject into areas where the skin is red, bruised, tender, hard, or where moles or scars are present.

Hemophilia A

Hemlibra 60mg 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 60mg 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. Do not try to administer the medicine if you are well-trained. Your physician will decide the dose of the injection based on your disease condition and severity. The recommended places to give an injection are the front of the waist (lower abdomen), upper outer arms, or the front of the thighs.
