Used for
FEIBA is an Anti-Inhibitor Coagulant Complex indicated for use in hemophilia A and B patients with inhibitors for: Control and prevention of bleeding episodes Perioperative management Routine prophylaxis to prevent or reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes.
What it is
FEIBA (Anti-Inhibitor Coagulant Complex) is a freeze-dried sterile human plasma fraction with factor VIII inhibitor bypassing activity to be reconstituted for intravenous administration. Factor VIII inhibitor bypassing activity is expressed in arbitrary units.
Boxed warning
EMBOLIC and THROMBOTIC EVENTS Thromboembolic events have been reported during postmarketing surveillance following infusion of FEIBA, particularly following the administration of high doses and/or in patients with thrombotic risk factors. Monitor patients receiving FEIBA for signs and symptoms of thromboembolic events.
Causality screen of the 15 strongest signals
What the badges mean
- Labeled — boxed warning The term (or its clinical synonym) appears in the FDA boxed warning: causality is regulator-recognised and considered serious.
- Labeled adverse reaction The exact term appears in the label's warnings or adverse-reactions sections: a known, expected effect. The FAERS signal confirms the label rather than discovering anything.
- Labeled (related wording) The label describes this effect under different wording (e.g. 'neutropenia' for 'neutrophil count decreased'). Treated as known.
- Likely indication confounding The term appears in the label's indications: reports probably describe the disease being treated (or its progression), not a drug effect. Classic confounding by indication.
- Reporting / coding artifact An administrative, monitoring or exposure term (product issue, off-label use, 'test normal', overdose...). Not a biological reaction; a high PRR here reflects how reports are coded.
- Not in label — unassessed Not found in the label text, not an artifact pattern. This is a genuine candidate for a formal causality assessment (Bradford Hill / WHO-UMC); it has NOT had one here.
Strongest disproportionality signals
Flagged terms (PRR ≥ 2, χ² ≥ 4, n ≥ 10), ranked by PRR; infinite PRRs (no comparator reports) excluded. The EBGM column is a second, shrinkage-based estimate (MGPS) with its 5th percentile EB05 and the BCPNN IC025; a pair flagged by PRR alone is marked PRR-only and should be read as fragile. The strata column recomputes the PRR on serious reports only and flags pairs whose reports are unusually skewed by sex or come mostly from consumers rather than clinicians. 4 further terms are in the interactive explorer.

Unlabeled candidate signals
These flagged terms were not found in the FDA label text and do not match an artifact pattern. They are the pairs that would merit a structured assessment (temporality, dose-response, biological plausibility, consistency across databases, trial or cohort evidence). The screen has not done that; string-matching misses label wording, and a strong PRR can still be stimulated reporting, co-medication, or the disease itself.
- Haematoma — n=31, PRR 22.7

Common questions
What are the most reported side effects of Anti-Inhibitor Coagulant Complex?
In FDA FAERS, the most frequently co-reported reaction terms for Anti-Inhibitor Coagulant Complex are haemorrhage, haematoma, disseminated intravascular coagulation, joint injury, limb injury, gingival bleeding. These are report counts, not rates: FAERS has no denominator, reporting is voluntary and uneven, and a term can be reported because of the illness being treated rather than the drug.
Does Anti-Inhibitor Coagulant Complex have an FDA boxed warning?
Yes. The current FDA label carries a boxed warning: EMBOLIC and THROMBOTIC EVENTS Thromboembolic events have been reported during postmarketing surveillance following infusion of FEIBA, particularly following the administration of high doses and/or in patients with thrombotic risk factors. Monitor patients receiving FEIBA for signs and symptoms of thromboembolic events.
Do FAERS signals prove that Anti-Inhibitor Coagulant Complex causes these side effects?
No. A disproportionality signal (PRR, ROR) means a reaction is reported more often with this drug than with others in the database. That can reflect a real effect, but also the disease being treated, stimulated reporting after news or litigation, co-medications, or how reports are coded. Causality needs temporality, dose-response, biological plausibility, consistency across data sources and, ideally, trial or cohort evidence. This page screens each term against the FDA label and ClinicalTrials.gov results; it does not establish causation.
