Hemlibra (emicizumab) is a monoclonal antibody that functions in place of a natural blood-clotting factor that is missing in people with hemophilia A. Emicizumab works as a "bridge" between other clotting factors to replace missing factor VIII.

Hemlibra is for adults and children with hemophilia A with or without factor VIII inhibitors. Hemlibra is used to help prevent bleeding episodes or make them occur less often.

Hemlibra will not stop a bleeding episode that has already begun.
