There are several large pharmaceutical companies that manufacture blood coagulation factor. These are a few of the brand name factors out there: Factor for VIII deficiency

All hemophilia medication used to be derived from human plasma, which was dangerous for people with hemophilia. In the 1980s many people, as many as 80% of people with hemophilia, contracted the HIV virus. However, with the approval of recombinant DNA technology to produce factor using other animal cells, infusing with factor has become much safer.
