Coagulation factor X human

Compatible

Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.

It is a protease, a plasma protein with enzymatic properties dependent on vitamin K, that is involved in blood coagulation. Obtained from human plasma. It is used to control bleeding from factor X deficiency. Intravenous administration.

Since the last update we have not found published data on its excretion in breastmilk.

Its very high molecular weigh make it highly unlikely that significant quantities will pass into breast milk.

Due to its protein nature, it is inactivated in the gastrointestinal tract, and is not absorbed, (it has virtually no oral bioavailability), which hinders or prevents its transfer from breastmilk to infant, except in premature babies and the immediate neonatal period, when there may be greater intestinal permeability.

Alternatives

We do not have alternatives for Coagulation factor X human since it is relatively safe.

Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.

Jose Maria Paricio, Founder & President of APILAM/e-Lactancia

Your contribution is essential for this service to continue to exist. We need the generosity of people like you who believe in the benefits of breastfeeding.

Thank you for helping to protect and promote breastfeeding.
