Warnings

Documented life-threatening hypersensitivity to factor X, human or its components

Cautions

Allergic-type hypersensitivity reactions may occur (eg, anaphylaxis, angioedema, infusion site inflammation, chills, cough, dizziness, fever, flushing, generalized urticaria, headache, hives, hypotension, lethargy, musculoskeletal pains, nausea, pruritus, rash, restlessness, tachycardia, tightness of the chest, tingling, vomiting, wheezing); discontinue product immediately and administer appropriate emergency treatment

Formation of neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) to factor X may occur; if expected factor X activity levels are not attained, or if bleeding is not controlled with an expected dose, perform an assay that measures factor X inhibitor concentration

Transmission of infectious agents may occur; the product is derived from human blood, and despite measures to screen and inactivate/remove certain viruses, it may carry risk of transmitting infectious agents (eg, viruses, the variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [vCJD] agent and, theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [CJD] agent)

Monitor plasma factor X activity and monitor for factor X inhibitors

Caution when coadministered with other plasma products that may contain factor X (eg, fresh frozen plasma, prothrombin complex concentrates)

Based on the mechanism of action, factor X, human is likely to be counteracted by direct and indirect factor Xa inhibitors (eg, apixaban, edoxaban, dabigatran)
