Faq for HEMIN FOR INJECTION

Hemin for injection is used to treat acute attacks of porphyria, a group of rare genetic disorders that affect the nervous system and skin.

Hemin works by decreasing the production of porphyrins, which are abnormal substances that build up in people with porphyria. This helps to alleviate symptoms and prevent further attacks.

Hemin is administered by a healthcare professional through intravenous (IV) infusion.

Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, and injection site reactions.

Hemin should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed and only under the supervision of a healthcare professional. The potential benefits must outweigh the potential risks.

The duration of treatment with Hemin for injection can vary depending on the individual and the severity of the porphyria attack. It is typically administered daily for a few days until symptoms improve.

Hemin may interact with certain drugs, such as warfarin. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking before starting Hemin treatment.

Hemin has been used in children for the treatment of porphyria, but the dosage and administration should be determined by a pediatric specialist.

Hemin for injection should only be administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional in a clinical setting.
