Cablivi
Caplacizumab-Yhdp
What is Cablivi used for?
This medication is used to treat a certain blood disorder (acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-aTTP). It is used in combination with certain other treatments for this disorder (plasma exchange, immune suppressing medication). In aTTP, blood clots form in small blood vessels throughout the body. These clots can cause serious medical problems if they block vessels and limit or stop blood flow to organs such as the brain, kidneys, and heart. This disorder can also cause red blood cells to break apart faster than the body can replace them, which results in anemia. Caplacizumab works by causing your body to make fewer/smaller blood clots.
