Immunat: what kind of medicine is it and how is it used?

Immunate is a drug used medically to treat hemophilia A, a rare genetic disease associated with a bleeding disorder. The drug is produced by the Austrian pharmaceutical company Baxter AG and belongs to the group of hemostatic agents.

The international name of the drug is blood coagulation factor VIII, and there are also several synonyms, such as Actif VIII-Antihemophilic Factor, Hemoctin SDT, Hemophil M, Cohenate FS, Coate-DVI, Coate-NR, Cryobulin TIM 3 (Human Factor VIII concentrated), Cryoprecipitate, Cryoprecipitate dry, Cryostat SD-2, Monoclat-P, Octavi, Octanate, Recombinate, Uman K. All these names refer to different forms and manufacturers of the drug.

The immunosuppressant is available in powder form, which, after dilution with water, becomes an injection solution. The dosage form of the lyophilized powder for the preparation of an injection solution is available in three dosages: 1000 IU, 500 IU and 250 IU. There is also a lyophilisate form for preparing a solution for intravenous administration.

The use of Immunat is based on replacing the missing blood clotting factor VIII in patients with hemophilia A. The drug is administered intravenously and is able to quickly restore blood clotting. For each patient, the dosage and mode of administration of the drug are determined individually depending on the severity of the disease, weight and age of the patient.

Immunate is considered one of the most effective and safe drugs for the treatment of hemophilia A. However, like any other medicine, it can cause side effects such as allergic reactions, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and others. Therefore, before using Immunate, you must consult your doctor and strictly follow the recommendations for dosage and use.

In conclusion, Immunate is an important drug for the treatment of hemophilia A, which helps patients overcome the difficulties associated with bleeding disorders. However, its use should only occur under the supervision of a physician and in accordance with the individual needs of each patient.
