What Is Corifact?
Corifact (also known by its generic name, factor XIII concentrate) is an injectable prescription medicine used to prevent excessive bleeding in people with congenital factor XIII deficiency, which is a rare inherited bleeding disorder. This condition affects around 1 in every 2 to 3 million people, with an incidence in the U.S. of approximately 150 people.
Corifact belongs to the drug class of coagulation factors and is also classified as a hemostatic agent that helps prevent and control bleeding by supporting proper blood clot formation.
This drug was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2011 and is available in 12 different countries around the world under the brand name Fibrogammin®- P.
Corifact Working Mechanism
Corifact contains a purified form of human factor XIII protein extracted from pooled human plasma donated by healthy individuals. It works like the body’s natural clotting protein and replaces the missing factor XIII in the bloodstream. Once infused, it:
- Increases the level of Factor XIII in the blood
- Strengthens blood clots
- Helps clots stay in place long enough for proper healing
- Reduces the risk of spontaneous or uncontrolled bleeding
- Helps prevent spontaneous bleeding episodes
By maintaining adequate Factor XIII levels, Corifact helps the body form stronger, more stable clots, lowering the risk of serious bleeding episodes.

Dosage for Adults and Children
The dose of Corifact is based on body weight, not age. This means adults and children generally receive the same weight-based dosing schedule.
Routine Preventive Treatment (Prophylaxis)
Both adults and children with congenital Factor XIII deficiency receive a dose of 40 IU/kg body weight intravenously, once every 4 weeks (every 28 days).
The doctor may adjust the dose based on the factor XIII blood levels, bleeding history, or any upcoming surgeries or procedures.
For Perioperative Management of Surgical Bleeding
If you need surgery or experience a bleeding episode, your healthcare provider may adjust the dose based on your Factor XIII levels, the type of surgery, and your clinical response.
