Introducing Alhemo®: the first and only prophylaxis in a prefilled, subcutaneous pen for treating hemophilia with inhibitors.
Alhemo® is a prescription medicine used for routine prophylaxis to prevent or reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes in adults and children 12 years of age and older with hemophilia A with Factor 8 inhibitors or hemophilia B with Factor 9 inhibitors. It is not known if Alhemo® is safe and effective in people younger than 12 years of age or in people receiving ongoing immune tolerance induction (ITI).
Needles sold separately and may require a prescription in some states; a new needle is required for each injection .

Proven effective bleed protection:
Study of the safety and efficacy of Alhemo® for routine prophylaxis in 91 adults and in 42 adolescents aged 12 to 17 years who have hemophilia B with inhibitors or hemophilia A with inhibitors. Participants in the study were treated with either bypassing agents on demand or Alhemo® once-daily prophylaxis over 24 weeks or 32 weeks, respectively. Efficacy was evaluated by comparing the number of treated bleeds between 19 patients who received bypassing agents on demand (no prophylaxis) and 33 patients who received Alhemo® prophylaxis.

Alhemo® blocks a natural protein in your blood that prevents blood from clotting. This protein is called tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI).
Blocking TFPI improves clotting of your blood and therefore helps prevent or reduce bleeds when you are lacking clotting factors 8 or 9 and have inhibitors to factor replacement.
