Antifibrinolytic agents: Medications like tranexamic acid can help reduce bleeding by stabilizing blood clots.
Desmopressin (DDAVP): This can be used in certain cases to temporarily increase levels of von Willebrand factor and factor VIII, aiding clot formation.
Platelet transfusions: Reserved for severe cases, especially during surgical procedures or when other treatments are ineffective.
