Antithrombin III Baxalta, which contains antithrombin, belongs to a group of medicines called anticoagulants . Antithrombin is a normal component of blood that reduces the blood’s ability to coagulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Antithrombin III Baxalta is used to treat and prevent blood clots in blood vessels in people with congenital deficiency or certain forms of acute antithrombin deficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Traceability<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n To facilitate the traceability of biological drugs, the name and manufacturing batch number of the drug must be documented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Antithrombin III Baxalta is made from human plasma. When medicines are made from human plasma or blood, special measures are taken to prevent the transmission of infection to patients. This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n a careful selection of blood and plasma donors to ensure that people at risk of being carriers are excluded, as well as testing of individual donations and plasma pools for signs of virus\/infection. The manufacturers of these products also include steps in the processing of blood and plasma that can inactivate and secrete viruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nevertheless, the risk of transmission of infection can not be completely ruled out when drugs made from human blood or plasma are given. This also applies to new, hitherto unknown viruses and other types of infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The measures taken are considered to be effective against enveloped viruses, such as HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C viruses, and for non-enveloped viruses, hepatitis A virus . The measures may be of limited value against unencapsulated viruses such as parvovirus B19. Parvovirus B19 infection can be serious in pregnant women ( fetal infection ), immunocompromised individuals, or in patients with certain types of anemia (eg, hemolytic anemia ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your doctor may suggest vaccination against Hepatitis A and B if you are regularly \/ repeatedly treated with plasma-derived antithrombin products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Children<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not give this medicine to children under 6 years of age as safety and efficacy have not yet been established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor if you are using, or have recently used, medicines containing heparin(eg for the treatment of blood clots) as heparin significantly increases the effect of Antithrombin III Baxalta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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 taking this medicine. Your doctor will decide if you can use Antithrombin III Baxalta during pregnancy or breast-feeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No effects on the ability to drive and use machines have been observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention. One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or side effects (eg fatigue and low blood pressure ). Descriptions of these effects and side effects can be found in other sections. Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 500 IU \/ 10 ml<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n This medicine contains 37.7 mg sodium (the main ingredient in table salt\/table salt) per vial.
