IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION & USE

Important: Before you start using HYMPAVZI, it is very important to talk to your healthcare provider about using factor VIII and factor IX products (products that help blood clot but work in a different way than HYMPAVZI). You may need to use factor VIII or factor IX medicines to treat episodes of breakthrough bleeding during treatment with HYMPAVZI. Carefully follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding when to use factor VIII or factor IX medicines and the prescribed dose during your treatment with HYMPAVZI.

Before using HYMPAVZI, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

  1. have a planned surgery. Your healthcare provider may stop treatment with HYMPAVZI before your surgery. Talk to your healthcare provider about when to stop using HYMPAVZI and when to start it again if you have a planned surgery.
  2. have a severe short-term (acute) illness such as an infection or injury.
  3. are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. HYMPAVZI may harm your unborn baby.
  1. are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if HYMPAVZI passes into your breast milk.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription medicines, over‑the‑counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

What are the possible side effects of HYMPAVZI?

HYMPAVZI may cause serious side effects, including:

    • cough up blood
    • feel faint

    • swelling of your face, lips, mouth, or tongue
    • trouble breathing
    • wheezing
    • dizziness or fainting
