For Factor IX Deficiency: The product reconstitutes more easily than human-derived plasma. The effective dose for me is higher than than of the human factor. The dosages per vial are convenient. Because it carries no risk of human blood-borne disease, I would recommend it's use over human-derived factor. Because Wyeth has a captive consumer, I believe the product is extremely over-priced.
