WHAT NOVOSEVEN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
NovoSeven is a blood coagulation factor. It works by making the blood
clot at the site of bleeding,
when the body's own clotting factors are not working.
NovoSeven is used
to treat bleeding, and to prevent excessive bleeding after surgery or
other
important treatments. Early treatment with NovoSeven reduces how much
you bleed and for how long.
It works in all types of bleeds, including joint bleeds. This reduces
the need for hospitalisation and
days absent from work and school.
It is used in certain groups of people:
•
If you were
_born with haemophilia_
and do not respond normally to factors VIII or IX treatment
•
If you have
_acquired haemophilia_
•
If you have
_Factor VII deficiency_
•
If you have
_Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia_
(a bleeding disorder) and your condition cannot be
treated effectively
