WHAT TAKHZYRO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
TAKHZYRO contains the active substance lanadelumab.
WHAT TAKHZYRO IS USED FOR
TAKHZYRO 150 mg is a medicine used in patients 2 years of age and
older weighing less than 40 kg,
to prevent angioedema attacks in patients with hereditary angioedema
(HAE).
WHAT HEREDITARY ANGIOEDEMA (HAE) IS
HAE is a condition which runs in families. With this condition the
patients blood does not have
enough of a protein called ‘C1 inhibitor’, or C1 inhibitor does
not work properly. This leads to too
much ‘plasma kallikrein’, which in turn produces higher levels of
‘bradykinin’ in the bloodstream.
Too much bradykinin leads to symptoms of HAE like swelling and pain on
the,
•
hands and feet
•
face, eyelids, lips or tongue
•
voice-box (larynx), which may make breathing difficult
•
genitals
HOW TAKHZYRO WORKS
TAKHZYRO is a type of protein that blocks the activity of plasma
kallikrein. This helps to reduce the
amount of bradykinin in the bloodstr
