WHAT IS HALF-LIFE?

Half-life is the time it takes for the level of factor in the blood to fall by half (50%).

QUESTIONS ABOUT ON-DEMAND TREATMENT?

Rebinyn® is an on-demand therapy, which means you only take it when bleeds occur. Most bleeds are treated with 1-2 infusions. Treating on-demand means there’s no need to keep to a strict dosing schedule. Rebinyn® is not intended for routine prophylaxis.

For people living with mild, moderate, or severe hemophilia B, the higher factor levels achieved and sustained with Rebinyn® may allow for fewer infusions.b Talk to your doctor to explore whether Rebinyn® is right for you and your lifestyle.

bBased upon treatment guidelines for factor activity levels for different severities of bleeding.
