Koate®-DVI (Antihemophilic Factor [Human]) |
Antihemophilic factor is a concentrate containing factor 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.

Plasbumin® (Albumin [Human]) and Plasmanate®, (Plasma Protein Fraction [Human]) |
Human albumin is a protein manufactured by the liver. It performs multiple functions, including the transport of many small molecules in the blood. Albumin products are used to manage serious and often life-threatening conditions, such as shock and blood loss due to trauma, burns, and surgery. A doctor or healthcare provider prescribes albumin.

Prolastin® (Alpha1- Proteinase Inhibitor [Human]) |
Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency, also known as Alpha-1, is an inherited disorder that causes significant reduction in the naturally occurring protein alpha1 antitrypsin (AAT). Scientists also call this protein alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor (A1 PI) because it inhibits not only trypsin but also other enzymes called proteinases. A doctor or healthcare provider prescribes an alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor.
|
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 1 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.

Important Safety Information
Thrombate III therapy has demonstrated a low occurrence of side effects. In clinical studies with Thrombate III, the most common side effects were dizziness, chest tightness, nausea, and a foul taste in the mouth. As with all plasma-derived therapeutics, the potential to transmit infectious agents, such as viruses, cannot be totally eliminated. Individuals who receive infusions of blood or blood plasma may develop signs and/or symptoms of some viral infections, particularly hepatitis C.
