| | MedlinePlus Drug Information: Factor IX (Systemic) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Injections of one form of factor IX, called factor IX complex, also are used to treat certain people with hemophilia A. In hemophilia A, sometimes called classical hemophilia, the body does not make enough factor VIII, and, just as in hemophilia B, the blood cannot form clots as it should. |
 | | Injections of factor IX complex may be used in patients in whom the medicine used to treat hemophilia A is no longer effective. |
 | | Factor IX obtained from human blood has been treated and is not likely to contain harmful viruses such as hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C (non-A, non-B) virus, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). |
