WHAT REFIXIA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT REFIXIA IS
Refixia contains the active substance nonacog beta pegol. It is a
long-acting version of factor IX.
Factor IX is a protein naturally found in the blood that helps to stop
bleeding.
WHAT REFIXIA
IS USED FOR
Refixia is used to treat and prevent bleeding in all age groups of
patients with haemophilia B (inborn
factor IX deficiency).
In patients with haemophilia B, factor IX is missing or does not work
properly. Refixia replaces this
faulty or missing factor IX and helps blood to form clots at the site
of bleeding.
