Alhemo® offers dosing individualized to your specific needs
Alhemo® requires a test that measures the amount of concizumab-mtci in your blood. This allows your healthcare provider to individualize your Alhemo® dose to fit your body’s needs.
Day 1:
Start with 1 mg/kg
Day 2 and after:
Dose 0.2 mg/kg daily until dose adjustment
Day 28 (4 weeks after starting Alhemo®):
Laboratory developed testb (at no cost to you)
To determine the right maintenance dose for you, your healthcare provider will do a laboratory developed test to check the amount of concizumab-mtci in your blood. Your healthcare provider may do additional lab tests during treatment with Alhemo®.
Follow the daily dosing schedule of Alhemo® to stay protected against bleeding. This is especially important during the first 4 weeks to help establish your maintenance dose.
If you miss a dose during the first 4 weeks, contact your healthcare provider, who will tell you how much to inject.
If you miss doses or stop using Alhemo®, you may no longer be protected against bleeding.
bShould be performed before administering next scheduled dose.
