Reported symptoms included facial swelling, flushing, hives, decrease in blood pressure, nausea, rash, restlessness, shortness of breath, tachycardia, tightness of the chest, tingling, urticaria, and vomiting. Discontinue Kogenate FS if symptoms occur and seek immediate emergency treatment.     Neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) have been reported following administration of Kogenate FS predominately in previously untreated patients. Carefully monitor patients for the development of factor VIII inhibitors, using appropriate clinical observations and laboratory tests. If expected plasma factor VIII activity levels are not attained, or if bleeding is not controlled with an expected dose, perform an assay that measures factor VIII inhibitor concentration.     Hemophilic patients with cardiovascular risk factors or diseases may be at the same risk to develop cardiovascular events as non-hemophilic patients when clotting has been normalized by treatment with factor VIII.     Serious adverse reactions seen with Kogenate FS are systemic hypersensitivity reactions including bronchospastic reactions and/or hypotension and anaphylaxis, and the development of high-titer inhibitors necessitating alternative treatments to factor VIII.     The most common adverse reactions (>4%) observed in clinical trials were inhibitor formation in previously untreated and minimally treated patients, skin-related hypersensitivity reactions, infusion site reactions, and central venous access device (CVAD) associated infections.       For additional important risk and use information, please click here for full Prescribing Information.   {{customText[I would be glad to provide further information to help you and your hemophilia A patients with their Kogenate FS treatment.
