New Medication Giving People With Hemophilia Hope

Hemophilia is a rare inherited disease. It is a disorder that causes excessive bleeding by not forming blood clots properly. Sufferers who are injury-prone, or young children, who are more likely to cut themselves accidentally, have to deal with frequent painful intravenous injections to prevent excessive bleeding. Hemlibra is a new medication and method that can provide a twice-monthly treatment that is less painful, making treatment far more tolerable and convenient.
