Factor IX (nine) 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.

Profilnine SD is a combination of four different clotting factors and other proteins. This medication works by temporarily raising levels of these clotting factors in the blood to aid in clotting.

Profilnine SD is used to treat or prevent bleeding episodes in people with factor IX deficiency (hemophilia B). It is also used to control bleeding related to surgery or dentistry in people with hemophilia B.

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