General information

Class/mechanism: Recombinant factor VIIa; complexes with tissue factor and can activate coagulation factors X to Xa and IX to IXa, which results in conversion of prothrombin to thrombin, and fibrinogen to fibrin to form a fibrin clot. There is still uncertainty about the precise mechanism, and activation of factor X on platelet surfaces may also play an important role. Clinical applications include use for patients with inhibitors to factors VIII and IX, as can be the case in hemophilia A and hemophilia B. The NovoSeven RT formulation contains sucrose and L-Methionine which "allows the product to be stored at room temperature (up to 77 degrees Fahrenheit) for up to two years."[1][2][3][4]
