Non-factor therapies

Medicines that help clotting without replacing the missing factor — availability in Nepal varies year to year.

What ‘non-factor’ means

Non-factor therapies help blood clot by another pathway. Emicizumab is the best-known example for some people with haemophilia A, including some with inhibitors.

They are not a cure and they are not interchangeable with factor VIII concentrate.

Humanitarian access

The World Federation of Hemophilia has reported humanitarian shipments to Nepal including some non-factor treatment. Shipments change annually.

Only your treatment centre can say whether a named medicine is on shelf for you. NHS does not prescribe through this website.

Safety and inhibitors

Never switch products because social media says a new medicine is better. Inhibitor status, allergy history, and surgery plans all matter.

Haemophilia B with inhibitors carries different risks than haemophilia A. Specialist supervision is mandatory.
