Factor VIIa is used to stop bleeding of injuries for patients with hemophilia by helping the blood to clot. This man-made protein, factor VIIa, is used in people who have Hemophilia A or Hemophilia B, who have also formed antibodies against other clotting proteins that help bleeding to stop.
Patients using factor VIIa are usually male.
Factor VIIa is to be administered only by or under the supervision of your doctor or other health care professional. In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of using the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. Also tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to any other substances, such as foods, preservatives, or dyes. It is not known whether factor VIIa passes into breast milk.
