Benefits of Hemlibra Injection

In Treatment of Haemophilia A

Hemophilia A is a genetic condition where the blood does not clot properly because of a missing or faulty clotting protein called factor VIII (FVIII). People with hemophilia A experience prolonged bleeding, particularly after injuries or surgeries, which can be life-threatening if not adequately managed.

Hemlibra 150mg Injection belongs to a class of medications known as monoclonal antibodies. In individuals with hemophilia A, this medicine can effectively reduce the frequency and severity of bleeding episodes, leading to better control over their bleeding and improves their overall quality of life.

Side effects of Hemlibra Injection

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of Hemlibra

  • Injection site reactions (pain, swelling, redness)
  • Joint pain
  • Headache

How to use Hemlibra Injection

Your doctor or nurse will give you this medicine. Kindly do not self administer.

How Hemlibra Injection works

In people with hemophilia A who have low or missing factor VIII, the blood coagulation process cannot continue normally. Hemlibra 150mg Injection acts like a bridge, bringing factor IXa and factor X together to allow the blood coagulation process to continue without needing to replace factor VIII.
