Emicizumab 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.

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

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