Overview

Advate is a recombinant antihemophilic factor indicated for the treatment and control of bleeding episodes in patients with hemophilia A. Hemophilia A is a genetic disorder caused by a deficiency in clotting factor VIII, leading to prolonged bleeding and difficulty in clot formation. Advate is a crucial therapy in managing this condition, providing patients with the necessary clotting factor to prevent and control bleeding episodes.
