WHAT OXBRYTA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT OXBRYTA IS AND HOW IT WORKS
Oxbryta contains the active substance voxelotor. Voxelotor works on a
protein in red blood cells
called haemoglobin to help it take up oxygen that red blood cells can
deliver throughout the body.
Patients with the condition called sickle cell disease have an altered
form of haemoglobin called sickle
haemoglobin which is different from the normal haemoglobin. When the
sickle haemoglobin gives up
oxygen to the tissues, it sticks together to form long rods and causes
red blood cells to alter their shape
to that of a crescent moon making these cells rigid and sickled shape.
Sickle red blood cells cannot
deliver oxygen as well as healthy red blood cells and are also broken
down more quickly, leading to
lowered levels of red blood cells (haemolytic anaemia). By improving
the way the altered
haemoglobin holds onto oxygen, Oxbryta improves the function of red
blood c
