WHAT OBIZUR IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
OBIZUR contains the active substance susoctocog alfa, antihaemophilic
factor VIII, porcine sequence.
Factor VIII is necessary for the blood to form clots and stop
bleedings.
In patients with acquired haemophilia, factor VIII is not working
properly because the patient has
developed antibodies to his own factor VIII which neutralize this
blood clotting factor.
OBIZUR is used for the treatment of bleeding episodes in adults with
acquired haemophilia (a
bleeding disorder caused by lack of factor VIII activity due to
antibody development). These
antibodies have less neutralizing effect against OBIZUR than against
human factor VIII.
OBIZUR restores this missing factor VIII activity and helps blood to
form clots at the site of bleeding.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU ARE GIVEN OBIZUR
The medicine is for in-patient administration only. It requires
clinical supervision of the bleeding
status of the patient.

(BHK) cells. The BHK cells
are cultured in media that contains foetal bovine serum. The
manufacturing process is free of human
serum and human protein products and does not contain any additional
animal derived materials.
