WHAT VIHUMA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Vihuma contains the active substance human recombinant coagulation
factor VIII (also called
simoctocog alfa). Factor VIII is necessary for the blood to form clots
and stop bleeding. In patients
with haemophilia A (inborn factor VIII deficiency), factor VIII is
missing or does not work properly.
Vihuma replaces the missing factor VIII so the blood can clot
normally, and can be used in all age
groups to treat and prevent bleeding in patients with haemophilia A.
