Voncento is only used when treatment with another medicine, desmopressin, is not effective on its own or cannot given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VWF and FVIII are involved in blood clotting.&nbsp;Lack of any of the factors means that the blood cannot clot as quickly as it should and therefore there is an increased tendency to bleed.&nbsp;Replacement of VWF and FVIII with Voncento temporarily repairs the coagulation mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Voncento contains both FVIII and VWF, it is important to know which factor you need most.&nbsp;If you have&nbsp;hemophilia&nbsp;A, your doctor will prescribe Voncento with a specified number of units of FVIII.&nbsp;If you have VWD (&nbsp;von Willebrand disease&nbsp;), your doctor will prescribe Voncento with a specified number of units of VWF.<br><a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before using Voncento<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Voncento<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul

be controlled with Voncento, tell your doctor immediately.<\/li><li>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have heart disease or have risk factors for heart disease<\/li><li>If you need a central venous access device (CVAD) to deliver Voncento, the doctor should consider the risk of CVAD-related complications in the form of local\u00a0infections\u00a0, bacteria in the blood (\u00a0bacteraemia\u00a0) and formation of a blood clot in the blood vessel (\u00a0thrombosis\u00a0) where the catheter is inserted.<\/li><li>von Willebrand diseaseIf you have a known risk of blood

security<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When medicines are made from human blood or&nbsp;plasma&nbsp;, special measures are taken by the manufacturer to prevent&nbsp;infection&nbsp;from being transmitted to patients.&nbsp;These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Careful selection of blood and plasma donors to ensure that people at risk of being carriers are excluded,<\/li><li>Testing each donation and plasma pool for signs of viruses\/infections,<\/li><li>Incorporation of steps in the handling of the blood or plasma that can inactivate or isolate&nbsp;viruses&nbsp;.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite these measures, the risk of transmission of infection cannot be completely excluded when medicines made from human blood or&nbsp;plasma&nbsp;are given.&nbsp;This also applies to new, hitherto unknown&nbsp;viruses&nbsp;and other types of&nbsp;infection&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The measures taken are considered to be effective against so-called &#8220;enveloped&#8221;&nbsp;viruses&nbsp;, such as human immunodeficiency virus (&nbsp;HIV&nbsp;, AIDS virus),&nbsp;hepatitis&nbsp;B and&nbsp;hepatitis&nbsp;C&nbsp;viruses&nbsp;(which cause liver inflammation) and the &#8220;non-enveloped&#8221;&nbsp;virus&nbsp;et&nbsp;hepatitis&nbsp;A&nbsp;virus&nbsp;( which also causes liver inflammation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The measures may be of limited value against non-enveloped&nbsp;viruses&nbsp;such as parvovirus B19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parvovirus B19&nbsp;infection&nbsp;can be serious<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>for pregnant women (as there is a risk of the unborn child being infected) and<\/li><li>for individuals with a weakened immune system or with an

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy and breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.<\/li><li>Voncento should only be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding when absolutely necessary.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving ability and use of machinery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Voncento does not affect the ability to drive or use machines.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Voncento contains sodium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 250 IU FVIII \/600 IU VWF (5 ml liquid) and 500 IU FVIII \/1200 IU VWF (5 ml liquid) packages contain up to 14.75 mg&nbsp;sodium&nbsp;per bottle (the main ingredient in common\/table salt).&nbsp;This corresponds to 0.74% of the maximum recommended daily intake of&nbsp;sodium&nbsp;for adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 500 IU FVIII \/1200 IU VWF (10 ml liquid) and 1000 IU FVIII \/2400 IU VWF (10 ml liquid) packages contain up to 29.50 mg of&nbsp;sodium&nbsp;per bottle (the main ingredient in common\/table salt).&nbsp;This corresponds to 1.48% of the maximum recommended daily intake of&nbsp;sodium&nbsp;for adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This should be taken into account if you have been prescribed a low-salt diet.<br><a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use Voncento<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your treatment must take place under the supervision of a doctor who has experience in the treatment of bleeding disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your doctor thinks you can&nbsp;administer&nbsp;Voncento yourself, your doctor will provide you with appropriate instructions.&nbsp;Always take this medicine as directed by your doctor.&nbsp;Consult a doctor if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dosage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The amount of VWF and FVIII you need and the duration of treatment depends on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>the severity of your illness<\/li><li>where the bleeding is and how extensive it is<\/li><li>your clinical condition<\/li><li>your body

Voncento for home use, your doctor will make sure that someone shows you how to inject it and that you know how much to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow the instructions of your doctor.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use for children and adolescents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dose&nbsp;one for children and adolescents aged &lt; 18 years is based on body weight and is therefore generally based on the same instructions as for adults.&nbsp;In some cases, especially in younger patients, a higher&nbsp;dose&nbsp;may be needed.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you use too much Voncento&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Five cases of overdose have been reported from&nbsp;clinical trials&nbsp;.&nbsp;Those reports have not been associated with any&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;.&nbsp;However, the risk of forming blood clots (&nbsp;thrombosis&nbsp;) cannot be excluded at extremely high&nbsp;doses&nbsp;, especially in patients with VWD.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you forget to use Voncento<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Take the next&nbsp;dose&nbsp;immediately and continue at regular intervals as recommended by your doctor.<\/li><li>Do not take a double&nbsp;dose&nbsp;to make up for a missed&nbsp;dose&nbsp;.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you stop using Voncento<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not stop using Voncento without consulting a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Preparation&nbsp;and use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>General instructions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The powder should be mixed with the diluent (liquid) and withdrawn from the vial under aseptic conditions.<\/li><li>Voncento cannot be mixed with other medicines, diluents or solutions except those mentioned in section 6.<\/li><li>The solution should be clear and slightly opalescent (translucent), i.e. it may shimmer if held up to the light but must not contain any visible particles.&nbsp;After filtering or filling the syringe (see below), the solution should be seen (visually checked) before use.&nbsp;Do not use the solution if it is cloudy or contains flakes or particles.<\/li><li>Any unused product or waste should be disposed of in accordance with local guidelines and as directed by your physician.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Preparation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before opening the vials, Voncento powder and liquid should be warmed to room or body temperature.&nbsp;This can be done either by letting the bottles stand at room temperature for about an hour or by holding them in your hands for a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DO NOT expose the vials to direct heat.&nbsp;The vials must not be heated above body temperature (37 \u00baC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carefully remove the plastic caps from the bottles and clean the surfaces of the rubber stoppers with an alcohol wipe.\u00a0Allow the vials to dry before opening the Mix2Vial package (which contains the
