Von Willebrand factor recombinant injection is used to treat and control serious bleeding episodes in patients with a bleeding problem called von Willebrand disease (VWD). Von Willebrand factor is normally produced in the body and it helps you form blood clots. Patients with von Willebrand disease do not make enough of this substance to prevent bleeding, so this product is given to increase the blood levels.
