Qual è l'uso degli emoderivati?
Il plasma è prevalentemente destinato al trattamento dei pazienti con difetti dei fattori della coagulazione. Quasi tutto il plasma raccolto viene inviato all'industria per la produzione dei ***farmaci emoderivati*** (fattori della coagulazione, immunoglobuline, albumina). La restante parte di plasma viene adoperato per uso clinico in ospedale. Le piastrine e i leucociti sono necessarie per i pazienti in chemioterapia o con gravi malattie del sangue, sottoposti a trapianto di midollo o altri trapianti.

We don't often use "drugs" to refer to this type of medicinal product in English.

"a type of drug made with blood products" - no, this is not the definition. They are blood products/derivatives used for medicinal purposes.

There are only 100 or so google hits for "blood-derived drugs". And 36,000 for "blood derivatives". They mean EXACTLY the same thing. You can use "blood-derived drugs" - it is not *wrong* but it is not the most commonly used expression and would sound rather odd in a professional context, where the term is rarely used.
