As a parent or caregiver, protecting your child comes with the job. If you have a child with a bleeding disorder, this includes finding the best way to prevent and stop bleeds. Understanding all the treatment choices available is important. As your child gets older, their needs and activities may change. This can be a good time to make sure their treatment is still working best for them as they continue to grow and develop. The Treatment Options section is organized by type of treatment product. However, it is important to understand that some of these treatments prevent bleeds, some can treat bleeds once they start, and some are able to do both.    

Here is a chart that helps explain:

This section of Treatment Options covers:
