General information

Class/mechanism: Concentrate of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors II (FII), VII (FVII), IX (FIX), X (FX), and protein C and protein S. Use of prothrombin complex concentrate can help control acute major bleeding that may result from acquired deficiency of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors (supratherapeutic INR) in patients who are using vitamin K antagonists (VKA) such as Warfarin (Coumadin).[1][2][3]

For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.[1]
