Concizumab-Mtci

Pronounced

"kon-SIZ-ue-mab"

Uses

This medication is used by people with a certain inherited bleeding problem (hemophilia A or B) to help prevent or lessen how often you have bleeding problems. Concizumab belongs to a class of medications known as monoclonal antibodies. It works by helping your blood to clot normally, which helps prevent bleeding due to hemophilia.

How to Use This Medication

Read the Medication Guide and Instructions for Use provided by your pharmacist before you start using this medication and each time you get a refill. Ask your health care professional how to prepare and use this medication. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Inject this medication under the skin as directed by your doctor, usually daily. The injection is given in the thighs or abdomen (except for a 2-inch area around your belly button). The dosage is based on your medical condition, weight, and response to treatment.

Stop the prophylactic use of bypassing agents 1 to 2 days before starting concizumab. Ask your healthcare professional for more information about the use of these other products and what to do if you have breakthrough bleeding.

This product may contain clear or white particles. Before using, check this product for cloudiness, large particles, or discoloration. If you see any of these things, do not use the liquid. Before injecting each dose, clean the skin you are going to inject into (the injection site) with rubbing alcohol. Change the injection site each time to lessen injury under the skin. Do not inject into moles, scars, stretch marks, or skin that is tender, bruised, red, or hard. To lessen bruising, do not rub the injection site after a shot.
