Introduction to Fibrogen-i Injection
Fibrinogen-I Injection contains an active component called as human fibrinogen. It treats bleeding episodes in people with a congenital Fibrinogen deficiency. These deficiencies can be caused by genetic mutations or by liver disease. It can be used as an adjunct to hemostasis (blood clotting) in adults undergoing surgery when control of bleeding by standard surgical techniques is ineffective or impractical. It is also used to help stop the bleeding and prevent further blood loss in cases of massive hemorrhage. It can be given to women who risk delivering their babies prematurely. It is also used in patients with acquired fibrinogen deficiency, which can be caused by liver disease, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), afibrinogen-I Injectionemia, hypofibrinogenemia or other conditions that damage the liver or interfere with its production.
If you have had an allergic reaction to Fibrinogen-I Injection or other blood products in the past, you should not receive it. It should not be given to people who are already actively bleeding. This is because it can increase the risk of forming a blood clot. If you have a history of thrombosis, you should not receive this medication without careful consideration. Special considerations are needed when administering this medication to pediatric and geriatric patients, including dosage adjustments based on age and weight and close monitoring.
Uses of Fibrogen-i Injection
Fibrinogen-I Injection is used in the following:
- Fibrinogen replacement therapy for bleeding disorders
- Coagulation management in liver diseases
- Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
- Afibrinogenmia
- Hypofibrinogenemia
Therapeutic Effects of Fibrogen-i Injection
Fibrinogen-I Injection molecules are converted into fibrin by the enzyme thrombin. Fibrin strands form a meshwork, trapping blood cells and creating a stable blood clot at the site of injury or bleeding. This clot helps to staunch bleeding and promote wound healing. The missing Fibrinogen-I Injection enhances the body's ability to form these essential blood clots, preventing excessive bleeding in individuals with Fibrinogen-I Injection deficiency disorders.
Interaction of Fibrogen-i Injection with other drugs
Inform the doctor about your medicines, including prescription, over-the-counter, nutritional or vitamin supplements, and herbal products. Certain medications may interact with Fibrinogen-I Injection, reducing effectiveness by causing undesirable side effects.Â
More Information about Fibrogen-i Injection
- Stored at room temperature from 2°C to 8°C.

- Keep away from children and pets.
How to consume Fibrogen-i Injection
Fibrinogen-I Injection can be administered through several routes, including intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), and, in some cases, intraarterial (IA). The healthcare provider determines the choice of administration route based on the patient's needs and the urgency of treatment.Â
Safety Advices for Fibrogen-i Injection
 Â
Pregnancy
 Â
There is not enough information about the safety of fibrinogen-I injection concentrates in pregnant women. So consult your doctor before using it.
 Â
Breast Feeding
 ÂFibrinogen-I Injection concentrate is generally safe to take while breastfeeding. However, talking to your doctor before taking any breastfeeding medication is important.
 Â
Lungs
  Before using Fibrinogen-I Injection in individuals with lung conditions, consult with a healthcare provider if you have lung conditions.
 Â
Liver
  If you have liver conditions, consult a healthcare provider before using Fibrinogen-I Injection.
 Â
Alcohol
 Â
It is not safe to take Fibrinogen-I Injection with alcohol. Alcohol can interfere with how Fibrinogen-I Injection works and increase the risk of bleeding.
 Â
Driving
  If you have Fibrinogen-I Injection deficiency and you need to drive, it is important to talk to your doctor. Your doctor may recommend that you take it before driving.
Side Effects of Fibrogen-i Injection
Fibrinogen-I Injection causes some side effects like all medications, although not everyone will experience them.Â
Serious
- Allergic Reactions
- Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI)
- Transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO)
- Transfusion-transmitted infections
- Thrombosis
- Fluid overload
Common
- Fever
- Chills
- Flushing
- Nausea
- Headache
- Mild allergic reactions (itching, hives)
Word of Advice
It is essential to assess patients for allergies, potential allergic reactions, and underlying medical conditions like cardiovascular, liver, or kidney diseases, as these factors can impact Fibrinogen-I Injection. Medication interactions, especially with anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs, must be considered, and dosages adjusted accordingly. Thrombocytopenia, kidney dysfunction, and multiple transfusions can affect treatment response and require close monitoring. Patients receiving it from human plasma should be informed of the minimal risk of viral transmission.Â
FAQs
Q 1. Is Fibrinogen-I Injection therapy a lifelong treatment for congenital Fibrinogen-I Injection deficiency?
For individuals with congenital fibrinogen deficiency, fibrinogen-I injection therapy is often required throughout their lifetime to prevent bleeding episodes. The treatment plan is tailored to the patient's specific needs.
Q 2. Can Fibrinogen-I Injection therapy cause blood clots (thrombosis)?
While Fibrinogen-I Injection therapy promotes clot formation, it must be administered carefully to avoid excessive clotting (thrombosis). Patients at risk of thrombosis or with a history of clotting disorders should be monitored during treatment.
Q 3. Is it safe to receive too much Fibrinogen-I Injection?
Yes, excessive fibrinogen-I injection therapy can lead to an increased risk of thrombosis (clot formation). Healthcare providers closely monitor fibrinogen levels during treatment to ensure they remain within the desired range.
Q 4. Can Fibrinogen-I Injection be used in rare bleeding disorders other than fibrinogen deficiency?
Fibrinogen-I Injection may be considered in rare bleeding disorders characterized by dysfunction in fibrinogen function or in cases of acquired fibrinogen deficiencies due to underlying medical conditions.
Q 5. Is it safe to resume Fibrinogen-I Injection after experiencing side effects?
Whether to continue Fibrinogen-I Injection after experiencing side effects should be carefully evaluated by healthcare providers. In some cases, therapy may be resumed with precautions, while alternative treatments may be considered in others.
