Niastase RT

Niastase RT Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Recombinant human coagulation Factor VIIa (rFVIIa), intended for promoting hemostasis by activating the extrinsic pathway of the coagulation cascade. NovoSeven is a vitamin K-dependent glycoprotein consisting of 406 amino acid residues. Cloned and expressed in hamster kidney cells, the protein is catalytically active in a two-chain form.

Used in the treatment of bleeding episodes in hemophilia A or B. NovoSeven is recombinant Factor VIIa and, when complexed with tissue factor can activate coagulation Factor X to Factor Xa, as well as coagulation Factor IX to Factor IXa. Factor Xa, in complex with other factors, then converts prothrombin to thrombin, which leads to the formation of a hemostatic plug by converting fibrinogen to fibrin and thereby inducing local clotting.

For treatment of hemorrhagic complications in hemophilia A and B.

Niastase RT is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Bleeding, Severe Bleeding

How Niastase RT works

NovoSeven activates the coagulation or clotting cascade by cleaving Factor IX and Factor X, which activates them and then leads to activation of thrombin and fibrin.
