- Dose in Renal Impairment
- Dose in Hepatic Impairment
- In the absence of clinical studies in this population, dosing recommendations cannot be made at this time.
Off-Label Use and Dosage (Adult)
Guideline-Supported Use
There is limited information regarding Off-Label Guideline-Supported Use of Desirudin in adult patients.
Non–Guideline-Supported Use
