USES: This medication is used to prevent or control bleeding in people with little or no factor X, a condition also known as Stuart-Prower deficiency. This condition may occur due to being passed down through families (inherited). It may also be caused by a lack of vitamin K or by certain medical conditions (such as amyloidosis, liver disease). Factor X is a clotting factor in the blood that helps bleeding stop normally. People with little or no factor X are at risk for easy bruising, nose or mouth bleeds, heavy menstrual periods (women), bleeding longer after an injury/surgery, or sudden bleeding (such as in the joints, muscles, head, stomach/gut) without a clear cause.

How to use FACTOR X, HUMAN - INJECTION

HOW TO USE: Read the Patient Information Leaflet and Instructions for Use if available from your pharmacist before you start using factor X and each time you get a refill.

The dosage is based on your medical condition (such as the amount and location of bleeding), weight, lab tests, and response to treatment. If you are using this medication at home, learn all preparation and usage instructions from the manufacturer and your health care professional. Learn how to store and discard medical supplies safely.
