NovoSeven is used for the treatment and prevention of bleeding connected with surgery in the following groups of patients: • patients with congenital haemophilia (a bleeding disorder present from birth) who have developed or are expected to develop ‘ inhibitors ’ (antibodies) against factor VIII or IX; • patients with acquired haemophilia (a disease caused by the spontaneous development of inhibitors to factor VIII); • patients with congenital factor VII deficiency; • patients with Glanzmann’ s thrombasthenia (a rare bleeding disorder) who cannot be treated with a transfusion of platelets (components that help the blood to clot).
