Factor VIII is a medication used to treat and prevent bleeding in people with hemophilia A and other causes of low factor VIII .[ 12] [ 13] von Willebrand's disease .[ 13] slow injection into a vein .[ 12]
Side effects include skin flushing, shortness of breath, fever , and red blood cell breakdown .[ 12] [ 13] Allergic reactions including anaphylaxis may occur.[ 13] pregnancy is safe for the fetus.[ 14] blood plasma .[ 13] recombinant version is also available.[ 12] antibodies to factor VIII such that this medication becomes less effective.[ 14]
Factor VIII was first identified in the 1940s and became available as a medication in the 1960s.[ 15] [ 16] [ 17] [ 18] World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines .[ 19]
Factor VIII is delivered by intravenous infusion .[ 20]
History
This transfer of a plasma byproduct into the blood stream of a hemophiliac often led to the transmission of diseases such as HIV and hepatitis before purification methods were improved. In the early 1990s, pharmaceutical companies began to produce recombinant synthesized factor products, which now prevent nearly all forms of disease transmission during replacement therapy.[citation needed
Society and culture
Legal status
von Willebrand Factor/Coagulation Factor VIII Complex (Human) (sold under the brand name Wilate) was approved for medical use in the United States in 2009.[ 10] [ 21]
Economics
The cost of Factor VIII and similar clotting factors has been described as "highly expensive".[ 20] [ 22] gene therapy for haemophilia might be less expensive, especially for people with severe hemophilia.[ 22]
