Are you a Kogenate® FS patient?
We’re here to support you.
Bayer recently announced that Kogenate FS will be discontinued. We want patients and their caregivers to know that we are here to support you during this transition. Keeping the needs of patients and caregivers in mind, Bayer has carefully considered that you will need sufficient time to consider and make decisions about your next treatment. The timing of discontinuation will vary by Kogenate FS vial size. Customer demand may lead to depletion of the larger vial sizes during the fall of 2022. Remaining Kogenate FS vial sizes are anticipated to be available into 2023. It's important to work with your healthcare provider as you consider transitioning products.
