If you’re an adult who needs plasma for a blood transfusion and other plasma products aren’t available, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has licensed Ezplaz Freeze Dried Plasma (FDP) for use in the United States.

Freeze-dried plasma is a form of plasma (the liquid part of blood) that has been dried for storage, and is given by transfusion when needed.
