WHAT RIXUBIS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
RIXUBIS contains the active substance nonacog gamma and is a
coagulation factor IX product. Factor
IX is a normal constituent of human blood necessary for effective
blood clotting. RIXUBIS is used in
patients with haemophilia B (Christmas disease, an inherited bleeding
disorder caused by lack of
factor IX). It works by replacing the missing factor IX to enable the
patient’s blood to clot.
RIXUBIS is used for the treatment and prevention of bleeding in
patients with haemophilia B of all
age groups.

The specific activity of RIXUBIS is approximately 200-390 IU/mg
protein.
Nonacog gamma (recombinant coagulation factor IX) is a single-chain
purified glycoprotein that
has 415 amino acids. It is produced by recombinant DNA technology in a
Chinese hamster ovary
(CHO) cell line.
