17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION
•Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Patient Information and Instructions for Use).
•Hypersensitivity reactions are possible with KOVALTRY [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. Warn patients of the early signs of hypersensitivity reactions (including tightness of the chest or throat, dizziness, mild hypotension and nausea during infusion) which can progress to anaphylaxis. Advise patients to discontinue use of the product if these symptoms occur and seek immediate emergency treatment with resuscitative measures such as the administration of epinephrine and oxygen.
•Inhibitor formation may occur at any time in the treatment of a patient with hemophilia A [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. Advise patients to contact their physician or treatment center for further treatment and/or assessment, if they experience a lack of clinical response to Factor VIII replacement therapy, as this may be a manifestation of an inhibitor.
