Panhematin
PATIENT INFORMATION
Many experts recommend reconstituting Panhematin® with albumin as this makes it more stable. This helps prevent phlebitis and an anticoagulant effect. Like Panhematin,® albumin is a biologic product, which is approved and regulated by the FDA.
In addition to Panhematin® therapy, supportive measures such as nursing care, attention to electrolyte imbalance, and sufficient pain medication help in treating acute attacks.
For questions from healthcare professionals regarding general use and administration, please call 1-800-455-1141. If your physician would like to speak to a porphyria expert who has expertise in using Panhematin,® the American Porphyria Foundation (APF) will gladly provide that information.
