WHAT COAGADEX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Coagadex is a concentrate of human coagulation factor X, a protein
that is needed for blood to clot. The
factor X in Coagadex is extracted from human plasma (the liquid part
of blood). It is used to treat and
prevent bleeding in patients with hereditary factor X deficiency,
including during surgery.
Patients with factor X deficiency do not have sufficient factor X for
their blood to clot properly, leading to
excessive bleeding. Coagadex replaces the missing factor X and allows
their blood to clot normally.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Treatment should be initiated under the supervision of a physician
experienced in the treatment of rare
bleeding disorders.
Posology
The dose and duration of the treatment depend on the severity of the
factor X deficiency (i.e. the patient’s
baseline factor X level), on the location and extent of the bleeding
and on the patient’s clinical condition.
Careful control of replacement therapy is especially important in
cases of major surgery or life-threatening
bleeding episodes.
