Emicizumab is a bispecific antibody drug used for preventing bleeding in patients with hemophilia A. Due to its specific properties as a biological agent, it must be purchased through formal channels, and attention should be paid to the identification of genuine vs. counterfeit drugs and medication safety.

How to Purchase Emicizumab

Overseas Purchase

Patients may choose to consult and purchase Emicizumab at hospital pharmacies or formal drugstores in countries or regions where the drug has been launched.

Since drug prices may be affected by factors such as regional differences and exchange rate fluctuations, patients need to make a budget and plan in advance before purchasing.

Purchase through Medical Service Institutions

Patients can consult domestic overseas medical service institutions that cooperate with international pharmacies or pharmaceutical companies.

These institutions can usually provide legal import channels and offer professional consultation and guidance.

Precautions for Purchasing Emicizumab

Prescription and Medical Supervision

The drug must be purchased with a doctor's prescription, and coagulation function should be monitored regularly during medication (avoid relying on interfered test indicators such as aPTT).

Do not adjust the dosage on your own; special vigilance should be paid to the risk of thrombosis when used in combination with activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC).

Inspection of Drug Packaging and Markings

Outer Packaging: Genuine products should include a complete drug instruction manual, batch number, expiration date, and anti-counterfeiting label. HEMLIBRA® single-dose vials are sterile-packaged, and the label indicates the concentration (e.g., 30mg/mL, 150mg/mL, etc.).

Drug Properties: The solution should be colorless to pale yellow, with no particles or suspensions. If discoloration, turbidity, or leakage is found, the product should be rejected immediately.

Cold Chain Transportation Requirements

Emicizumab needs to be stored refrigerated at 2-8°C.

When purchasing, confirm that the entire transportation process complies with cold chain standards and request temperature control records.

Methods to Identify Genuine vs. Counterfeit Emicizumab

Detailed Comparison

Label Information: Verify whether the drug name (HEMLIBRA®), active ingredient (emicizumab-kxwh), concentration, and volume are consistent with those in the instruction manual.

Instruction Manual Content: The instruction manual of genuine products contains complete indications, contraindications, and boxed warnings (e.g., thrombosis risk prompts), with a standardized format and no omissions or errors.

Monitoring of Abnormal Reactions

If unexpected side effects occur after use (such as abnormal redness and swelling at the injection site, or thrombosis symptoms), stop using the drug immediately, contact medical institutions, and suspect potential drug quality issues.
