1.
WHAT FIRAZYR IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Firazyr contains the active substance icatibant.
Firazyr is used for treating the symptoms of hereditary angioedema
(HAE) in adults, adolescents and
children aged 2 years and older.
In HAE levels of a substance in your bloodstream called bradykinin are
increased and this leads to
symptoms like swelling, pain, nausea, and diarrhoea.
Firazyr blocks the activity of bradykinin and therefore ends the
further progression of the symptoms.
2.
