Bleeding control in mucosal areas
Used to stabilize clots and prevent rebleeding. Common for dental procedures, epistaxis (nosebleeds), heavy menstruation, and GI bleeds. Often prescribed alongside factor replacement.
Bone health support
Patients with hemophilia, especially those with limited mobility or chronic joint disease, are at risk of osteopenia or osteoporosis. Vitamin D + calcium supplementation supports bone density.
Pain relief without bleeding risk
Ibuprofen and aspirin can increase bleeding risk. Safer alternatives like paracetamol (acetaminophen) are preferred for managing joint or muscle pain.
Joint protection
Used to stabilize joints prone to repeated bleeding (target joints). Can prevent deformity, reduce pain, and support function during rehabilitation.
Mobility and fall prevention
Temporarily used during recovery from bleeds or in patients with chronic arthropathy. Proper fitting and physiotherapist guidance is essential.
First aid for acute joint/muscle bleeds
Used as part of R.I.C.E protocol to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling in acute bleeding episodes.
Emergency identification
Alerts healthcare providers about the patient’s condition in emergencies. Should list hemophilia type, severity, and emergency contact details.
Self or caregiver-administered treatment
IV infusion kits, butterfly needles, alcohol swabs, and proper sharps disposal containers. Enables timely treatment and reduces ER visits.
Preparedness during travel
Includes treatment products, emergency medical info, cold storage solutions, and documentation for airport/customs. Helps ensure uninterrupted care.
