• HEMLIBRA 105MG/0.7ML INJECTION acts like a bridge between clotting factors IXa and X, effectively restoring the blood clotting process that is deficient in people with hemophilia A. This helps promote hemostasis, which means it assists in stopping or preventing bleeding episodes.
• A significant advantage of HEMLIBRA 105MG/0.7ML INJECTION is its unique structure, which differs from natural factor VIII. This structural difference means that the medicine is unaffected by factor VIII inhibitors, which are antibodies some patients develop that make traditional treatments ineffective.
• By mimicking the essential function of missing factor VIII without being targeted by inhibitors, this medicine provides a crucial and effective treatment option. It helps reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes and significantly improves the quality of life for individuals with hemophilia A, particularly for those who have developed inhibitors and previously had limited treatment choices.

• HEMLIBRA 105MG/0.7ML INJECTION is given as an injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection). It is very important that you are properly trained by your doctor, nurse, or other healthcare professional before you try to inject this medicine yourself. Giving the injection incorrectly could mean the medicine doesn't work as it should or could cause discomfort or injury. Never attempt to give the injection without receiving full training first. Your doctor will carefully determine the right dose of HEMLIBRA 105MG/0.7ML INJECTION for you. This decision is based on your specific condition and how severe it is. Follow your doctor's dosage instructions exactly.
• There are specific recommended areas on your body where you should inject HEMLIBRA 105MG/0.7ML INJECTION. These are the front part of your lower stomach area (abdomen), the upper outer part of your arms, or the front part of your thighs. Always use only these recommended sites. To help prevent skin issues like irritation or hardening, it's crucial to use a different injection spot each time you give yourself a dose. Don't inject into the same exact spot or into areas that are bruised, tender, red, hard, or scarred.
• Before preparing your injection, always check the expiry date on the packaging. Make sure the liquid looks clear and colorless to slightly yellowish. Do not use it if it is cloudy, discolored, or contains particles. It's best to let the medicine sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before injecting, but do not warm it in any other way. Clean the injection site thoroughly with an alcohol swab and let it dry. Carefully follow the step-by-step instructions provided during your training for preparing the syringe and administering the injection. After injecting, safely dispose of the used syringe and needle in a puncture-proof container as directed by your healthcare provider. If you miss a dose, contact your doctor for advice on when to take the next dose.
