On-demand
In people with mild or moderate haemophilia and some people with severe haemophilia, the treatment is often given at the time a bleed occurs, known as on-demand therapy.
If you are treating bleeds on-demand, it is essential to treat bleeds according to your doctor's instructions. The sooner the bleed is stopped, the less damage to the joint. Learning to identify a bleed early is critical to reducing the risk of joint damage. For more information on how to recognise a bleed, please click here.
