RIASTAP- fibrinogen human injection, powder, lyophilized, for solution


Patient Information

  • Allergic Reactions

    Inform patients of the early signs of allergic or hypersensitivity reactions to RiaSTAP, including hives, chest tightness, wheezing, hypotension, and anaphylaxis. Advise them to notify their physician immediately if they experience any of these symptoms[seeWarnings and Precautions (5.1)].

  • Thrombosis

    Inform patients that thrombosis with or without embolization has been reported with the use of RiaSTAP. Any symptoms of thrombotic events such as unexplained pleuritic, chest and/or leg pain or edema, hemoptysis, dyspnea, tachypnea or unexplained neurologic symptoms should be reported to their physician immediately[seeWarnings and Precautions (5.2)].

  • Transmissible Infectious Agents

    Inform patients that RiaSTAP is made from human plasma (part of the blood) and may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents e.g., viruses, the variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) agent and, theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD) agent. Explain that the risk of transmitting an infection agent using RiaSTAP has been reduced by screening plasma donors, testing the donated plasma for certain virus infections, and incorporating a process demonstrated to inactivate and/or remove certain viruses during manufacturing. Symptoms of possible virus infection include headache, fever, nausea, vomiting, weakness, malaise, diarrhea, or, in the case of hepatitis, jaundice[seeWarnings and Precautions (5.3)].
