WHAT RAPLIXA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The active ingredient fibrinogen is a concentrate of clottable
protein; the other active ingredient thrombin
is an enzyme that causes clottable protein to coalesce to form a plug.
Raplixa is applied during surgical operations, to reduce bleeding and
oozing during and after the operation
in adults. In combination with a gelatin sponge, Raplixa is applied or
sprayed onto cut tissue where it
forms a layer that helps to stop bleeding.
