Vonvendi (von Willebrand factor) is a naturally occurring protein in the blood that helps blood to clot. People with an inherited blood-clotting disorder called von Willebrand disease do not have enough of this protein in their blood. A lack of von Willebrand factor can cause uncontrolled bleeding.

Vonvendi is used to control bleeding episodes in adults with von Willebrand disease.

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