Contents of the pack and other information
1. WHAT BENEFIX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
BeneFIX is an injectable clotting (coagulation) factor IX product that
is produced by recombinant
DNA technology. The active ingredient in BeneFIX is nonacog alfa.
People who are born with
haemophilia B (Christmas disease) lack sufficient factor IX to control
bleeding. BeneFIX works by
replacing factor IX in haemophilia B patients to enable their blood to
clot.
BeneFIX is used for the treatment and prevention of bleeding in
patients with haemophilia B
(congenital factor IX deficiency) in all age groups.
2. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE BENEFIX
DO NOT TAKE BENEFIX:
-
If you are allergic to nonacog alfa or any of the other ingredients of
this medicine (listed in
section 6).
-
If you are allergic to hamster proteins. WARNINGS
