There is obviously a need to establish facilities and treatment options that will help the patient with hemophilia to manage their life with ease. As this is a genetic disorder no complete cure is possible as of now. The only available treatment option is the infusion of factors and some adjuvant therapies depending upon the bleeding conditions .The initiative for the development of new dosage forms, new delivery systems of the existing therapies or new treatment options has to be driven by pharmacy professionals. This article present an overview of hemophilia, in order to drag the attention of medical as well as pharmacy professionals for the benefit of millions of hemophilic patients .
