More info needed: A lot depends on how strong the inhibitor is--usually in bethesda units-- are you referring to fresh frozen plasma or cryoprecipitate? Stick with your hematologist or seek a second opinion. What does iti stand for? Good luck.

Follow his advice: Development of recombinant factor v111 inhibitor those occur frequently after prolonged treatment and those make the treatment less effective. Hence your dr will recommend products to bypass the inhibition.
