Corifact and Pantopon Oral

• Generic Name: factor XIII
• Dosage Forms: injection
• Other Brand Names: Corifact, Tretten

Corifact (factor XIII) is used to prevent bleeding episodes in people with a hereditary bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency of Factor XIII.

Factor XIII (thirteen) is a naturally occurring protein in the blood that helps blood to clot. A lack of clotting factors can cause uncontrolled bleeding, as the blood is unable to clot properly. This medicine works by temporarily raising levels of these factor XIII in the blood to aid in clotting.

Corifact will not treat a bleeding episode that has already begun.

Corifact may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Opium Deodorized, Paregoric

Opium tincture is used to treat diarrhea. This medicine belongs to the group of medicines called narcotics.

When a narcotic is used for a long time, it may become habit-forming, causing mental or physical dependence. Physical dependence may lead to withdrawal side effects if treatment is stopped suddenly. However, severe withdrawal side effects can usually be prevented by gradually reducing the dose over a period of time before treatment is stopped completely.

This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
