Before you use KOGENATE® Bayer

Do not use KOGENATE® Bayer if you are hypersensitive (allergic) to the active ingredient, octocog alfa, to mouse or hamster protein or to any of the ingredients of KOGENATE® Bayer. If you are unsure about this, ask your doctor.

Take special care with KOGENATE ® Bayer as there is a rare chance that you may experience an anaphylactic reaction (a severe, sudden allergic reaction). If you experience tightness in the chest, feeling dizzy, feeling sick or faint, or experience dizziness on standing, you may be experiencing an allergic reaction to KOGENATE ® Bayer. If this occurs, stop administering the product immediately and seek medical advice.

Your doctor may wish to carry out tests to ensure that your current dose of KOGENATE® Bayer is sufficient to reach and maintain adequate factor VIII levels.

If your bleeding is not being controlled with KOGENATE® Bayer, consult your doctor immediately. You may have developed factor VIII inhibitors and your

doctor may wish to carry out tests to confirm this. Factor VIII inhibitors are antibodies in the blood which block the factor VIII you are using. This makes factor VIII less effective in controlling bleeding.
