Does Monoclate-P® contain human albumin?
A. Monoclate-P® does contain human albumin. This is necessary because in human blood factor VIII is connected to von Willebrand factor. When an ultrahigh-purity product such as Monoclate-P® is manufactured, factor VIII is separated from the von Willebrand factor. This makes the factor VIII very unstable. It is necessary to add albumin to stabilize the factor VIII so it maintains its efficacy.
