What is Hemophilia?
Hemophilia is one of a group of inherited bleeding disorders that cause abnormal or exaggerated bleeding and poor blood clotting. It refers to two specific conditions, hemophilia A and hemophilia B. Hemophilia A is caused by a deficiency of clotting Factor VIII, and while hemophilia B results from a deficiency of Factor IX. Symptoms of the disease includes excessive bleeding from any site in the body, long-term damage to joints from repeated bleeding episodes is characteristic. Currently, no oral therapies exist for the treatment of hemophilia.
About Rani Pill
Rani Pill is a capsule that delivers an intestinal injection without exposing medication to digestive enzymes. Once the capsule is consumed, it stays protected until it enters the small intestine and delivers medication into the intestinal wall. Since the intestines do not have sharp pain receptors, the intestinal delivery is expected to be pain free.
