Patient Information 

This leaflet summarizes important information about RECOMBINATE. Please read it carefully before using this medicine. This information does not take the place of talking with your healthcare provider, and it does not include all of the important information about RECOMBINATE. If you have any questions after reading this, ask your healthcare provider.

What Is The Most Important Information I Need To Know About Recombinate [antihemophilic Factor (recombinant)]? 

Do not attempt to do an infusion to yourself unless you have been taught how by your doctor or hemophilia center.

You must carefully follow your doctor's or other healthcare provider's instructions regarding the dose and schedule for infusing RECOMBINATE so that your treatment will work best for you.

What Is Recombinate [antihemophilic Factor (recombinant)]? 

RECOMBINATE is a medicine used to replace a clotting factor (Factor VIII or antihemophilic factor) that is missing in people with hemophilia A (also called classic hemophilia). Hemophilia A is an inherited bleeding disorder that prevents blood from clotting normally.

RECOMBINATE is used to prevent and control bleeding in people with hemophilia A.

RECOMBINATE is not used to treat von Willebrand s Disease.

Who Should Not Use Recombinate [antihemophilic Factor (recombinant)]? 

You should not use RECOMBINATE if you

  • are allergic to mouse, hamster or bovine proteins.
  • are allergic to any ingredients in RECOMBINATE.

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or breast-feeding because RECOMBINATE may not be right for you.

How Should I Use Recombinate [antihemophilic Factor (recombinant)] ? 

RECOMBINATE is given directly into the blood stream.

You may infuse RECOMBINATE at a hemophilia treatment center, at your healthcare provider s office or in your home. You should be trained on how to do infusions by your hemophilia treatment center or healthcare provider. Many people with hemophilia A learn to infuse their RECOMBINATE by themselves or with the help of a family member.

Your healthcare provider will tell you how much RECOMBINATE to use based on your weight, the severity of your hemophilia A, and where you are bleeding.

You may have to have blood tests done after getting RECOMBINATE to be sure that your blood level of Factor VIII is high enough to clot your blood.

Call your healthcare provider right away if your bleeding does not stop after taking RECOMBINATE.

What Should I Tell My Healthcare Provider Before I Use Recombinate [antihemophilic Factor (recombinant)]? 

You should tell your healthcare provider if you

  • have or have had any medical problems.
  • take any medicines, including non-prescription medicines and dietary supplements.
  • have any allergies, including allergies to mouse, hamster or bovine proteins.
  • are nursing.
  • are pregnant.
  • have been told that you have inhibitors to Factor VIII (because Factor VIII may not work for you).

What Are The Possible Side Effects Of Recombinate [antihemophilic Factor (recombinant)]? 

You could have an allergic reaction to RECOMBINATE.

Call Your Healthcare Provider Right Away And Stop Treatment If You Get: 

  • Rash or hives
  • itching
  • tightness of the throat
  • chest pain or tightness
  • difficulty breathing
  • light-headed, dizziness
  • fainting

The most common side effects are chills, flushing, rash and nose bleeds. These are not all possible side effects with RECOMBINATE. You can ask your healthcare provider for information that is written for healthcare professionals. Tell your doctor about any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.

Recombinate Comes In Three Different Dosage Strengths. The Actual Strength Will Be Imprinted On The Label And On The Box. The Three Different Strengths Are Coded, As Follows: 

The three different strengths 250 IU, 500 IU, 1000 IU

Always check the potency printed on the label to make sure you are using the strength prescribed by your doctor. Always check the expiration date printed on the box. You should not use the product after the expiration date printed on the box.

How Do I Store Recombinate [antihemophilic Factor (recombinant)]? 

RECOMBINATE vials containing powdered product (without sterile diluent added) should be stored in a refrigerator (2 to 8 C [36 to 46 F]) or at room temperature (up to 30 C [86 F]).

If You Choose To Store Recombinate At Room Temperature: 

  • it should remain at room temperature until infused.
  • do not put room temperature product back in the refrigerator.

Store vials in their original box and protect them from extreme exposure to light.

Do not freeze.

Reconstituted product (after mixing dry product with wet diluent) must be used within 3 hours and cannot be stored or refrigerated. Any RECOMBINATE left in the vial at the end of your infusion should be discarded.

What Else Should I Know About Recombinate [antihemophilic Factor (recombinant)] And Hemophilia A? 

Your body may form inhibitors to Factor VIII. An inhibitor is part of the body s normal defense system. If you form inhibitors, it may stop RECOMBINATE from working properly. Consult with your healthcare provider to make sure you are carefully monitored with blood tests for the development of inhibitors to Factor VIII. Call your healthcare provider right away if your bleeding does not stop after taking RECOMBINATE.
