COAGADEX® Infusion Therapy

About COAGADEX® Injection Therapy

COAGADEX® is a plasma-derived coagulation Factor X replacement therapy used to treat hereditary Factor X deficiency, a rare inherited bleeding disorder. People with this condition do not produce enough Factor X, an important clotting protein that helps stop bleeding after an injury.

Without adequate Factor X, bleeding episodes may occur more easily and may last longer than normal. COAGADEX® works by replacing the missing clotting factor, helping restore the body's natural ability to form stable blood clots and reduce the risk of bleeding.

Treatment may be prescribed on a regular schedule to help prevent bleeding episodes or administered as needed to control active bleeding or prepare for certain medical or dental procedures.

Conditions treated by this therapy

COAGADEX® is FDA-approved for patients with hereditary Factor X deficiency (also called Stuart-Prower factor deficiency) which is a rare genetic bleeding disorder. COAGADEX® may be prescribed for:

Routine prophylaxis to reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes
On-demand treatment and control of bleeding episodes
Perioperative management before, during, and after surgical or dental procedures

Your hematologist will determine the appropriate dosing schedule based on your Factor X levels, bleeding history, body weight, and individual treatment goals.
