Xyntha (Antihemophilic Factor) and/or alternatives

General Information On Xyntha

Xyntha enables the blood to clot so that excessive bleeding can be stopped in patients suffering from hemophilia A. Antihemophilic Factor is a natural protein present in the blood that helps the blood to clot, and a lack of this protein is the primary cause of hemophilia. Xyntha temporarily increases factor VIII in your blood, which is effective in controlling excessive bleeding episodes. Your doctor may also recommend that you buy Xyntha if you are undergoing a surgery related to hemophilia. This drug is available in the form of an injection that is administered in the patient’s vein.

Side Effects for Xyntha

Flushing of the face, nausea, fast heartbeat, and headache are the common side effects of Xyntha, but these can be avoided if the injection is given slowly. Redness, burning, and irritation on the injection site can also occur, along with chills and fever. If any of these symptoms worsen or persist, you need to contact your doctor promptly. Some of the other common side effects associated with Xyntha include dizziness, joint pain, swelling in the joints, skin rashes or itching, unpleasant or unusual taste in the mouth, a runny nose, cough, and a sore throat. If you are experiencing increased episodes of bleeding or easy bruising symptoms, then you need to inform your doctor immediately. If you are allergic to the medicine, then you may experience rashes, itching or swelling on the face, throat, or tongue, breathing trouble, chest tightness or discomfort, and severe dizziness. In that case, you should immediately stop using Xyntha and inform the doctor about your symptoms.

As your body may naturally develop antibodies to the medicine, you need to contact your doctor if it seems that the drug is not alleviating your condition or is not controlling your bleeding episodes.

For that, you should make sure not to miss out on any of your doctor visits and that you get your blood tested regularly.
