Fibryga
FIBRYGA contains human fibrinogen, a protein vital for blood clotting, and replaces missing fibrinogen to correct clotting deficiencies.
How to Use
Dosage
The dose is determined by your doctor based on your weight, the severity of your condition, the bleeding site or procedure, and your health. Typically, an initial dose of 1-2g is given, followed by additional infusions as needed for acquired fibrinogen deficiency.
Method
This medicine is given slowly into a vein (intravenously) by a healthcare professional as an injection or infusion after being prepared with the supplied solvent.
Your doctor will monitor your fibrinogen levels with blood tests to avoid overdose. In severe bleeding situations, larger doses (4-8 g) might be needed. The dose is adjusted based on your condition and blood test results.
Possible Side Effects
- •Allergic or anaphylactic skin reactions, such as rash or skin redness.
- •Cardiovascular effects: inflammation of veins (phlebitis) and formation of blood clots.
- •Increase in body temperature (fever).
