HEMLIBRA is the first subcutaneous injection for hemophilia A with or without inhibitors
HEMLIBRA is a medicine that is given as a shot that goes directly under the skin (a subcutaneous injection), so you don't need to find a vein to take your dose of HEMLIBRA.
Move on from highs and lows
Life has its ups and downs, but with HEMLIBRA, you can count on consistent and sustained drug levels and proven bleed protection between doses, demonstrated by our clinical trials.
Sail into steady waters with HEMLIBRA and its extended half-life
The term “half-life” in medicine means how long it takes for half the amount of a drug to leave the body. A longer half-life means the medicine stays in your body longer.
The half-life of factor VIII treatment is less than or equal to 48 hours.
The half-life of HEMLIBRA is ~4 weeks giving you consistent and sustained drug levels.
Average level of HEMLIBRA in your blood*
*For all 3 dosing groups, the levels of HEMLIBRA were within the therapeutic range. A therapeutic range is the range of drug levels that may be expected to achieve a therapeutic treatment effect.
While taking HEMLIBRA, it’s not necessary to monitor your drug levels
HEMLIBRA can be taken once a week, once every 2 weeks, or once every 4 weeks
For the first 4 weeks of treatment, you’ll use HEMLIBRA once a week. This will build up the levels of HEMLIBRA in your blood. After that, your doctor will help you choose a dosing schedule that’s right for you.
