Symptoms and Treatment of Bleeding Episodes
Follow Up Treatment
Sometimes, one infusion is not enough and your doctor may prescribe follow up treatment. There may also be occasions when you feel follow up treatment is indicated.
It is important to avoid aspirin which prolongs bleeding time in people with normal levels of factor VIII as well as in those with hemophilia. Many common household remedies such as ALKA-SELTZER contain this drug.
Careful reading of the labels will reveal aspirin content. Acetaminophen is recommended as an aspirin substitute. It can be bought without a prescription under various brand names including TYLENOL and TEMPRA. A liquid form and chew-able tables are available. Acetaminophen is effective in reducing fever and relieving pain.
