The single dose of coagulation factor is based on a moderate bleeding dose of 25 IU/kg, and the duration of treatment is based on the drug insert [12]. The annual number of bleeds for hemophilia A is calculated as 20.5 times, and the number of bleeds for hemophilia B is calculated as 13 [13]. The dose of Siponimod is based on the maintenance dose of CYP2C9 *1/*1, *1/*2, or *2/*2 genotypes, i.e., 2 mg once daily
