Safety, warnings, and immediate post-dose observation
Allergic reactions, theoretical thrombosis risk when over-corrected in prothrombotic states, and very rarely transmission of infectious agents despite robust viral safety steps.
Observe during infusion and for a period after administration for rash, pruritus, dyspnoea, hypotension, or chest discomfort. Stop infusion if reactions occur and treat per protocol.
Thrombotic events are uncommon but possible. Use target-based dosing and avoid overshooting in patients with high thrombotic risk.
Only under specialist direction when active bleeding requires targeted fibrinogen replacement as part of comprehensive DIC management.
