Managing Hemophilia Making Your Hemophilia
Treatment Plan Work
If you are living with hemophilia, having a full and active life can be a positive, realistic goal. One of the most important steps you can take toward this goal is following your treatment plan.
Following your hemophilia treatment plan can have many benefits which may help you live with fewer limits and less pain when treatment regimens are followed carefully and bleeds are treated quickly.1
How To Make Your Treatment Plan Work For You
Here are some tried and true tips from the pros on making hemophilia treatment work…
- Tap into technology. For some people, keeping track of infusions and bleeds is easier with a computer or a personal digital assistant.
- Write it out. If you prefer keeping written records, you may want to use a treatment log to track your infusions and bleeds.
- Be informed. If you know the “why” behind your prescription, you’re more likely to follow it.
Remember, a hemophilia treatment center (HTC) team is a good source for answers to all your questions.
Note: ThereForYou.com does not recommend a particular treatment for specific individuals and recommends that you consult your treatment center or physician before pursuing any course of treatment.
