FEIBA - The Basics
Dosing guidelines
Your Haemophilia Centre will give you clear guidance on the dose you need and how often you should infuse.
For prophylaxis treatment, FEIBA can be infused as regularly as daily or as little as three times a week. Patients will be treated individually to meet their needs. Regular hospital appointments to track progress and assess symptoms will enable your Haemophilia Centre to ensure you are using the optimum dose.
For regular infusions (prophylaxis) the recommended dose is 50-100 units per kilogram of body weight. When administered during ITI, a daily dose of 50 units per kilogram body weight may be sufficient.
To treat a ‘spontaneous’ bleed you will be given clear guidance by your Haemophilia Centre, as the dose and dosing interval will depend on the nature and severity of the bleed. Depending on the nature of the bleed, what advice your Haemophilia Centre gives you and how confident you feel about home infusion, you may need to go to your Haemophilia Centre to deal with a ‘spontaneous’ bleed.
For dose information, please consult the Patient Information Leaflet.
