Koate®-DVI (Antihemophilic Factor [Human])

Antihemophilic factor is a concentrate containing factors VIII and IX — clotting factors that are used for treatment of persons with hemophilia. Hemophilia is a genetic disorder characterized by the deficiency or absence of one of the proteins (or factors) in blood plasma that is responsible for clotting. Low levels of one of these plasma proteins result in bleeding and difficulty clotting in the affected individual. The most common deficiencies of clotting proteins are factor VIII and factor IX. A doctor or healthcare provider prescribes antihemophilic therapies.

Thrombate III®, Antithrombin III (Human)

Antithrombin III (AT-III) is a blood protein that inhibits or stops the clotting factors in blood. Approximately 75% of the body's plasma coagulation inhibitory activity is derived from AT-III. AT-III deficiency is a rare inherited or spontaneously occurring condition that affects one in every 2,000 to 5,000 males and females worldwide. Individuals with the condition lack the AT-III protein and spontaneous clotting can occur as a result of normal, daily activity. A doctor or healthcare provider prescribes Antithrombin III.
