How should I use anti-inhibitor coagulant complex?
Anti-inhibitor coagulant complex is injected into a vein through an IV. You may be shown how to use an IV at home. Do not give yourself this medicine if you do not understand how to use the injection and properly dispose of needles, IV tubing, and other items used.
To treat a bleeding episode, this medicine is usually given once every 6 to 12 hours until your condition improves. For routine prevention of bleeding, anti-inhibitor coagulant complex may be given every other day. Follow your doctor's dosing instructions very carefully.
If a child is using this medicine, tell your doctor if the child has any changes in weight. Anti-inhibitor coagulant complex doses are based on weight in children, and any changes may affect your child's dose.
Anti-inhibitor coagulant complex is a powder medicine that must be mixed with a liquid (diluent) before using it. If you are using the injections at home, be sure you understand how to properly mix and store the medicine.
Do not use the medicine if it has changed colors or has particles in it. Call your pharmacist for new medicine.
Use a disposable needle and syringe only once. Follow any state or local laws about throwing away used needles and syringes. Use a puncture-proof "sharps" disposal container (ask your pharmacist where to get one and how to throw it away). Keep this container out of the reach of children and pets.
Each single-use vial (bottle) of this medicine is for one use only. Throw away after one use, even if there is still some medicine left in it after injecting your dose.
Keep the medicine and diluent in their original container and store at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and light. Do not allow the medicine to freeze.
After mixing anti-inhibitor coagulant complex with the diluent, store the mixture at room temperature and use it within 3 hours. Do not refrigerate mixed medicine.
Wear a medical alert tag or carry an ID card stating that you have hemophilia. Any doctor, dentist, or emergency medical care provider who treats you should know that you have a bleeding or blood-clotting disorder.
