WHAT HEMLIBRA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT HEMLIBRA IS
Hemlibra contains the active substance “emicizumab”. This belongs
to a group of medicines called
“monoclonal antibodies”. Monoclonal antibodies are a type of
protein that recognise and bind to a
target in the body.
WHAT HEMLIBRA IS USED FOR
Hemlibra is a medicine used for treating patients of all ages with
haemophilia A (congenital
factor VIII deficiency):
●
who have developed factor VIII inhibitors
●
who have not developed factor VIII inhibitors with:
-
severe disease (the factor VIII blood level is less than 1%)
-
moderate disease (the factor VIII blood level is from 1% to 5%) with
severe bleeding
phenotype.
Haemophilia A is an inherited condition caused by a lack of factor
VIII, an essential substance
required for blood to clot and stop any bleeding.
The medicine prevents bleeding or reduces bleeding episodes in people
with this condition
