Uses of NOVOSEVEN 2MG INJECTION

NOVOSEVEN 2MG INJECTION is used in the treatment of Bleeding disorders. The detailed uses of NOVOSEVEN 2MG INJECTION are as follows:

  • Hemophilia A and B with Inhibitors: NOVOSEVEN 2MG INJECTION is used to control bleeding episodes in patients with haemophilia A or B who have developed inhibitors against standard clotting factors. It bypasses the need for factors VIII or IX by directly activating the clotting cascade to promote haemostasis.
  • Congenital Factor VII Deficiency: NOVOSEVEN 2MG INJECTION is used for individuals born with a deficiency of clotting factor VII. It replaces the missing factor and helps form stable clots at bleeding sites, reducing the risk of prolonged or spontaneous bleeding.
  • Acquired Haemophilia and Surgical Bleeding: NOVOSEVEN 2MG INJECTION is used to manage bleeding in patients with acquired haemophilia or during surgeries where normal clotting is impaired. It supports rapid clot formation and minimizes blood loss, even in complex or high-risk procedures.
