Indications
First introduced in the United States in 1999, NovoSeven has proven to be a safe and effective treatment for hemophilia A or B patients with inhibitors to FVIII or FIX. In 2005, NovoSeven received three additional indications: for the treatment of bleeding episodes in FVII deficiency and prevention of bleeding in surgical procedures for both inhibitor patients and FVII-deficient patients.
NovoSeven has been indicated for the treatment of acquired hemophilia.
