Treatments For Hemophilia

Other Medication

Certain other medications for hemophilia, such as anti-fibrinolytic drugs, may be beneficial for patients. These medicines work to aid in preventing the break down of clots to reduce the risk of bleeding. The most common anti-fibrinolytic drug is known as tranexamic acid, and it might be considered when there is a high risk of hemorrhage. These medications might be used in conjunction with desmopressin as part of a hemophilia treatment regimen. Tranexamic acid is an oral medication, but a liquid form might be given to children. The dosage and administration frequency are dependent on the severity of the patient’s condition. In some cases, it may only be taken short-term for a specific bleeding event or as a preventative measure for bleeding, such as before surgery.
