WHAT DEFITELIO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Defitelio is a medicine that contains the active substance
defibrotide.
It is used to treat a condition called hepatic veno-occlusive disease,
in which the blood vessels in the
liver become damaged and obstructed by blood clots. This can be caused
by medicines that are given
prior to a stem cell transplantation.
Defibrotide works by protecting the cells of the blood vessels and
preventing or breaking down the
blood clots.
This medicine can be used in adults, and in adolescents, children and
infants over one month of age.
