CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY THROMBIN-JMI (thrombin topical bovine origin) ® requires no intermediate physiological agent for its action. It clots the fibrinogen of the blood directly. Failure to clot blood occurs in the rare case where the primary clotting defect is the absence of fibrinogen itself. The speed with which thrombin clots blood is dependent upon the concentration of both thrombin and fibrinogen.

Apply on the surface of bleeding tissue. DESCRIPTION The thrombin in Thrombin, Topical (Bovine Origin) THROMBIN-JMI (thrombin topical bovine origin) ® is a protein substance produced through a conversion reaction in which prothrombin of bovine origin is activated by tissue thromboplastin of bovine origin in the presence of calcium chloride. It is supplied as a sterile powder that has been freeze-dried in the final container. Also contained in the preparation are mannitol and sodium chloride. Mannitol is included to make the dried product friable and more readily soluble. The material contains no preservative. THROMBIN-JMI (thrombin topical bovine origin) ® has been chromatographically purified and further processed by ultrafiltration. Analytical studies demonstrate the current manufacturing process' capability to remove significant amounts of extraneous proteins, and result in a reduction of Factor Va light chain content to levels below the limit of detection of semi-quantitative Western Blot assay ( < 92 ng/mL, when reconstituted as directed). The clinical significance of these findings is unknown.

INDICATIONS THROMBIN-JMI (thrombin topical bovine origin) ® is indicated as an aid to hemostasis whenever oozing blood and minor bleeding from capillaries and small venules is accessible.

The following techniques are suggested for the topical application of THROMBIN-JMI (thrombin topical bovine origin) ®. The recipient surface should be sponged (not wiped) free of blood before THROMBIN-JMI (thrombin topical bovine origin) ® is applied. A spray may be used or the surface may be flooded using a sterile syringe and small gauge needle. The most effective hemostasis results occur when the THROMBIN-JMI (thrombin topical bovine origin) ® mixes freely with the blood as soon as it reaches the surface. Sponging of the treated surfaces should be avoided to assure that the clot remains securely in place. THROMBIN-JMI (thrombin topical bovine origin) ® may be used in conjunction with Absorbable Gelatin Sponge, USP as follows: Prepare THROMBIN-JMI (thrombin topical bovine origin) ® solution to desired strength. Immerse sponge strips of the desired size in THROMBIN-JMI (thrombin topical bovine origin) ® solution. Knead the sponge strips vigorously with moistened, gloved fingers to remove trapped air, thereby facilitating saturation of the sponge. Apply saturated sponge to bleeding area. Hold in place with a pledget of cotton or a small gauze sponge until hemostasis occurs.

PATIENT INFORMATION No information provided. Please refer to the WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS sections.

OVERDOSE No information provided. CONTRAINDICATIONS THROMBIN-JMI (thrombin topical bovine origin) ® is contraindicated in persons known to be sensitive to any of its components and/or to material of bovine origin.

SIDE EFFECTS Allergic reactions may be encountered in persons known to be sensitive to bovine materials. Inhibitory antibodies which interfere with hemostasis may develop in a small percentage of patients. See WARNINGS. DRUG INTERACTIONS No information provided.

WARNINGS The use of topical bovine thrombin preparations has occasionally been associated with abnormalities in hemostasis ranging from asymptomatic alterations in laboratory determinations, such as prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT), to severe bleeding or thrombosis which rarely have been fatal. These hemostatic effects appear to be related to the formation of antibodies against bovine thrombin and/or factor V which in some cases may cross react with human factor V, potentially resulting in factor V deficiency. Repeated clinical applications of topical bovine thrombin increase the likelihood that antibodies against thrombin and/or factor V may be formed. Consultation with an expert in coagulation disorders is recommended if a patient exhibits abnormal coagulation laboratory values, abnormal bleeding, or abnormal thrombosis following the use of topical thrombin. Any interventions should consider the immunologic basis of this condition. Patients with antibodies to bovine thrombin preparations should not be re-exposed to these products. Because of its action in the clotting mechanism, THROMBIN-JMI (thrombin topical bovine origin) ® must not be injected or otherwise allowed to enter large blood vessels. Extensive intravascular clotting and even death may result. PRECAUTIONS General Consult the Absorbable Gelatin Sponge, USP labeling for complete information for use prior to utilizing the thrombin saturated sponge procedure.
