WHAT VONCENTO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The product is made from human plasma (the liquid part of the blood)
and contains the active
substances called human coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) and human von
Willebrand factor (VWF).
Voncento is used for all age groups to prevent or to halt bleeding
caused by the lack of VWF in von
Willebrand disease (VWD) and the lack of FVIII in haemophilia A.
Voncento is only used when
treatment with another medicine, desmopressin, is not effective alone
or cannot be given.
VWF and FVIII are involved in blood clotting. Lack of either factor
means that blood does not clot as
quickly as it should so there is an increased tendency to bleed. The
