Study Notes
Medications for Specific Conditions
- Factor 8 treats hemophilia A, a bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency in clotting factor VIII.
- Factor 9 treats hemophilia B, a bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency in clotting factor IX.
- DNAase 1 treats cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder characterized by thick mucus buildup in the lungs and other organs.
- Insulin treats type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disorder in which the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar.
- Interferon-alpha treats chronic hepatitis C, a viral infection that causes inflammation of the liver.
- Anti-thrombin-3 prevents blood clots, which can be dangerous if they block blood flow in the arteries or veins.
- Interleukins treat various types of cancers, by stimulating the immune system to fight cancer cells.
- Interferon-beta treats herpes and viral enteritis, by suppressing viral replication.
- Human recombinant growth hormone promotes growth in children with growth hormone deficiency.
Hemophilia Treatment
- Factor 8 treats hemophilia A, a genetic bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency in clotting factor VIII
- Factor 9 treats hemophilia B, a genetic bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency in clotting factor IX, also known as Christmas factor
- Both Factor 8 and Factor 9 are essential for normal blood clotting
Cystic Fibrosis Treatment
- DNAase 1 is used to treat cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder that affects the lungs and digestive system
- DNAase 1 breaks down thick mucus in the lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis, improving breathing
Diabetes Management
- Insulin is used to treat type 1 diabetes, a chronic condition where the pancreas does not produce enough insulin
- Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels
Hepatitis C Treatment
- Interferon-alpha is used to treat chronic hepatitis C, a viral infection that can damage the liver
Blood Clot Prevention
- Anti-thrombin-3 is used to prevent blood clots, also known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Anti-thrombin-3 inhibits the formation of blood clots by inactivating clotting factors
Cancer Treatment
- Interleukins are a group of proteins that regulate immune responses and are used to treat various types of cancers
- Interleukins can stimulate the immune system to attack cancer cells
Viral Infections
- Interferon-beta is used to treat herpes and viral enteritis, a type of inflammation of the stomach and intestines
- Interferon-beta is a naturally occurring protein that helps the body fight off viral infections
Growth Promotion
- Human recombinant growth hormone is used to promote growth in children with growth hormone deficiency
- Growth hormone is essential for healthy growth and development
