Active substance: Factor VIII Inhibitor Bypassing Activity.

As the active ingredient, FEIBA 1000 U* contains 1000 U factor VIII inhibitor bypassing activity in 400-1200 mg human plasma protein.

FEIBA also contains the factors II, IX and X, mainly in non-activated form, as well as activated factor VII. Factor VIII coagulation antigen (F VIII CAg) is present at a concentration of up to 0.1 U./l U. FEIBA. The factors of the kallikrein-kinin system are present in trace amounts only, if at all.

Active Ingredient Description
Coagulation factor IX

Factor IX is a single chain glycoprotein with a molecular mass of about 68,000 Dalton. It is a vitamin-K dependent coagulation factor and it is synthesised in the liver. Factor IX is activated by factor XIa in the intrinsic coagulation pathway and by the factor VII/tissue factor complex in the extrinsic pathway. Activated factor IX, in combination with activated factor VIII, activates factor X.

Coagulation factor VII
Coagulation factor X

Coagulation factor X is derived from human plasma and used as a replacement for the naturally existing coagulation factor X in patients with hereditary factor X deficiency.
