plasma-derived medicines
Plasma-derived medicines are medical products made from human blood plasma, the liquid part of blood that carries cells and nutrients. These medicines contain important proteins like antibodies, clotting factors, or enzymes, and are used to treat conditions such as immune deficiencies, bleeding disorders, and certain rare diseases. The plasma is carefully collected from donors, tested for safety, and processed in specialized facilities to extract and purify these proteins. Because they come from human plasma, these medicines help restore or support specific functions in patients with deficiencies or illnesses related to these proteins.
