What is Feiba VH Immuno?
Feiba VH immunotherapy is a treatment for patients who have hemophilia and who have developed antibodies to clotting factor medication.
Hemophilia is an inherited blood-clotting disorder that is usually treated using medications that contain factors for clotting to help manage bleeding. If the body produces antibodies or "inhibitors" to the clotting factor, the treatment is less efficient in preventing bleeding episodes. Feiba VH Immuno works by blocking the inhibitors' effects to enhance blood clotting and reduce the chance of bleeding. Feiba VH is employed to manage or stop bleeding disorders in people suffering from hemophilia B or B who are suffering from inhibitors. Feiba VH Immuno is also utilized to manage bleeding that is related to surgical procedures in patients with hemophilia, as well as inhibitors. This medication is not intended for treating bleeding disorders in patients who are not affected by inhibitors.
Feiba VH Immuno may also be used for other purposes that are not covered in this medication guide.
