Octanate (500 iu) | ঔষধের দাম ও নির্দেশিকা

ব্যবহার

Octanate belongs to a group of medicines called clotting factors and contains human blood coagulation factor VIII. This is a special protein involved in blood clotting. Octanate is used to treat and prevent bleeding in patients with haemophilia A. This is a condition in which bleeding can go on for longer than expected. It is due to an hereditary lack of coagulation factor VIII in the blood.

সেবনবিধি

Dosage for the prevention of bleeding: If you suffer from severe haemophilia A you should inject 20 to 40 IU of factor VIII per kg body weight every two or three days for long-term prevention. Your dosage should be adjusted according to your response. In some cases shorter dosage intervals or higher dosages may be necessary.Dosage calculation: Always use Octanate exactly as your doctor has told you. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure. Factor VIII activity refers to the amount of factor VIII present in the plasma. It is expressed either as a percentage (relative to normal human blood plasma) or in International Units (IU). The dosage of factor VIII is expressed in IU. One IU of factor VIII activity is equivalent to the amount of factor VIII in one ml of normal human blood plasma. One IU of factor VIII per kg body weight raises the plasma factor VIII activity by 1.5%-2% of normal activity. To calculate your dosage, the level of factor VIII activity in your blood plasma is measured. This will indicate by how much the activity needs to be increased. Please consult your doctor if you are uncertain how much your factor VIII activity has to be increased or how to calculate your dosage.
