Introduction to Hemophilia A Drugs
Hemophilia is a condition in which the body is not able to form blood clots in order to stop bleeding. In a normal person’s body, the blood contains certain chemical substances which create a clot in case of bleeding. However, when a person has hemophilia, some clotting factors are absent which leads to the body being unable to form any clot. This result in continuous bleeding and eventually, severe loss of blood.
Hemophilia A is a rare genetic disorder of the blood characterized by a deficiency in the production of plasma protein factor VIII, which results in a reduced clotting property of the blood. Hemophilia drugs are given to hemophilic patients in order to provide them with these clotting factors artificially.
