A lack of antihemophilic factor VIII is the cause of hemophilia A. A lack of von Willebrand factor is the cause of von Willebrand disease. This medicine works by temporarily raising levels of factor VIII or von Willebrand factor in the blood to aid in clotting.

Wilate is used to treat bleeding episodes in people with von Willebrand disease.
