What is fibrinogen?

Fibrinogen is a man-made form of a protein that occurs naturally in the body and helps the blood clot.


Fibrinogen is used to treat bleeding episodes in people who have a congenital fibrinogen deficiency.


Fibrinogen may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about fibrinogen?


You should not use this medication if you have ever had an allergic reaction to it, or if you have ever had any life-threatening allergic reaction.

If you have certain conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely use this medication. Before using fibrinogen, tell your doctor if you have a history of stroke or blood clot.


Do not self-inject this medicine if you do not fully understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of needles, IV tubing, and other items used in giving the medicine. This medication comes with patient instructions for safe and effective use. Follow these directions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.


If you are using the injections at home, be sure you understand how to properly mix and store the medication. Do not mix the medicine until you are ready to give the injection.


Stop your IV infusion and get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; wheezing or difficult breathing; feeling like you might pass out; or swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Other serious side effects may include sudden numbness or weakness, chest pain, confusion, pain or swelling in your one or both legs, and problems with vision, speech, or balance.


Fibrinogen is made from human plasma (part of the blood) and may contain viruses and other infectious agents that can cause disease. Although donated human plasma is screened, tested, and treated to reduce the risk of it containing anything that could cause disease, there is still a small possibility it could transmit disease. Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits of using this medication.


What should I discuss with my health care provider before using fibrinogen?

Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits of using this medication.


How should I use fibrinogen?


Fibrinogen is given as an injection through a needle placed into a vein. Your doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider will give you this injection. You may be shown how to use your medicine at home. Do not self-inject this medicine if you do not fully understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of needles, IV tubing, and other items used in giving the medicine.


You will need to mix fibrinogen with a liquid (diluent) before using it. If you are using the injections at home, be sure you understand how to properly mix and store the medication. Do not mix fibrinogen with any other medicines, or give other medicines through the same IV line.


Fibrinogen contains no preservative. Once you have pierced the rubber top of a vial with a needle, you must use that vial right away or throw it away. Do not shake the medication vial (bottle). Vigorous shaking can ruin the medicine. Do not draw your fibrinogen dose into a syringe until you are ready to give yourself an injection. Do not use the medication if it has changed colors or has any particles in it. After mixing fibrinogen with a diluent, use it right away or store the mixture at room temperature and use it within 24 hours. The mixed medicine should be clear or slightly colored. Do not use the mixed medication if it has changed colors, is cloudy, or has any particles in it.

Each single-use vial (bottle) of this medicine is for one use only. Throw away the vial after one use, even if there is still some medicine left in it after injecting your dose.


To be sure this medication is helping your condition, your blood may need to be tested often. This will help your doctor determine how long to treat you with fibrinogen. Do not miss any follow-up visits to your doctor.


Use each disposable needle only one time. Throw away used needles in a puncture-proof container (ask your pharmacist where you can get one and how to dispose of it). Keep this container out of the reach of children and pets.


Store the unmixed dry powder in a refrigerator or in a dark cool place. Keep the medicine protected from light and do not allow it to freeze. Throw away any unused vial after the expiration date on the label has passed.

What happens if I miss a dose?


Use the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, wait until then to use the medicine and skip the missed dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.


What happens if I overdose?


Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine.

Symptoms of a fibrinogen overdose are not known.


What should I avoid while taking fibrinogen?


Follow your doctor's instructions about any restrictions on food, beverages, or activity while you are using fibrinogen.
