What Is Adynovate?
Adynovate is a brand-name prescription medication. The active substance in this product is recombinant clotting factor VIII (recombinant antihemophilic factor). It is in a class of medications called antihemophilic factors. The term “recombinant” means this product is made in a lab with recombinant DNA technology instead of being sourced from blood donors. As a result, Adynovate doesn’t have a risk of spreading blood-borne infections.
People with hemophilia A are missing the blood clotting factor called factor VIII. This results in the blood not clotting, leading to a higher risk of unexplained bleeding or, in severe cases, potentially life-threatening internal bleeding.
How Does Adynovate Work?
This medicine works by replacing the missing clotting factor VIII in children and adults with hemophilia A.
What Is Adynovate Used To Treat?
A healthcare provider may prescribe Adynovate for children and adults with hemophilia A to:
- Control and prevent bleeding episodes
- Prevent bleeding during surgery
- Reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes
This product isn’t used to treat another similar bleeding disorder called von Willebrand disease.
Who Shouldn’t Receive This Medication?
People allergic to recombinant factor VIII, mouse or hamster protein, or any product component shouldn’t use Adynovate. Make sure to tell your healthcare provider about any known allergies you have.

How Is Adynovate Supplied and Used?
This product comes as a sterile, white to off-white powder for reconstitution for intravenous (IV) injection in single-dose vials. One international unit (IU) is equal to the quantity of factor VIII in 1 ml of fresh human plasma. The following strengths are available in the US:
- 250 IU
- 500 IU
- 750 IU
- 1,000 IU
- 1,500 IU
- 2,000 IU
- 3,000 IU
Before administering the medication, your healthcare provider will determine the dose using a specific formula. Then, they will prepare the liquid for injection following instructions on the package.
The dose and duration of treatment depend on:
- Body weight
- Severity of factor VIII deficiency
- Desired factor VIII level
- Location and severity of bleeding
- Condition you’re receiving the infusion for
Adynovate is given as an injection into the veins (IV). It’s typically given twice per week for bleeding prevention and every 8 to 24 hours for bleeding treatment, depending on how severe the bleeding is.
The medication is typically administered over a period of 5 or fewer minutes. The liquid should be used within 3 hours after reconstitution.
