VONVENDI is used in adults (age 18 years and older) diagnosed with von Willebrand disease to: 1) treat and control bleeding episodes; 2) prevent excessive bleeding during and after surgery

Manufactured without human blood or plasma.VONVENDI is recombinant, meaning it's made without using human blood. This technology avoids the risk of spreading diseases through infected human blood. Can be used with or without recombinant FVIII as directed.Depending on your specific situation, your healthcare provider will decide if you may use VONVENDI by itself, or if you require additional recombinant FVIII (rFVIII).

VONVENDI is infused into your blood stream, where it acts like your body's natural von Willebrand factor (VWF), helping to form clots, and helping your own FVIII to work. At the site of injury, VONVENDI works to help stick blood proteins called platelets to the wall of the damaged blood vessel, forming a clot.

What is VONVENDI® [von Willebrand factor (Recombinant)]?

Approved for three different uses

Your healthcare provider may prescribe VONVENDI for three different uses: on-demand treatment of bleeds, to prevent excessive bleeding during and after surgery, and to reduce the number of bleeding episodes when used regularly (prophylaxis).¹

Prophylaxis

VONVENDI can be used on a routine to reduce the number of bleeds (prophylaxis) in adults with severe Type 3 VWD receiving on-demand therapy¹

If you form inhibitors, it may stop VONVENDI or factor VIII from working properly. Consult with your healthcare provider to make sure you are carefully monitored with blood tests for the development of inhibitors to von Willebrand factor or factor VIII.
