Wilate

Categories: Prescription Medication

Description:

Wilate is a plasma-derived concentrate containing a balanced 1:1 ratio of von Willebrand factor (VWF) and factor VIII (FVIII), used for the treatment and prevention of bleeding in patients with von Willebrand disease (VWD). It is intravenously administered and is virus-inactivated for safety.

Wilate should be given to patients with VWD who are unresponsive to desmopressin, particularly for surgical procedures, active bleeding episodes, or trauma. Its balanced ratio makes it useful when both VWF and FVIII need to be replaced in equal measure, such as in moderate bleeding or routine treatment where careful control of both factors is desired. It's suitable for type 1, 2 (excluding 2B), and type 3 VWD, and can also be used for prophylaxis in selected high-risk cases.

Humate-P is often preferred for von Willebrand disease (VWD) because it has a high VWF:FVIII ratio (~2.4:1), allowing effective VWF replacement while minimizing FVIII overload and thrombosis risk. It is FDA-approved specifically for VWD and has extensive clinical use in surgery, major bleeds, and severe disease, including type 2 and type 3 VWD. Compared to other VWF products, Humate-P offers reliable dosing and efficacy, making it a go-to option in situations requiring precise control of bleeding.
