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 60mg 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.
