In Treatment of Haemophilia A

Hemophilia A is a genetic condition where the blood does not clot properly because of a missing or faulty clotting protein called factor VIII (FVIII). People with hemophilia A experience prolonged bleeding, particularly after injuries or surgeries, which can be life-threatening if not adequately managed. Hemlibra 60mg Injection belongs to a class of medications known as monoclonal antibodies.
