1.
WHAT RAXONE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Raxone contains a substance called idebenone.
Idebenone is used to treat vision impairment in adults and adolescents
with an eye disease called
Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON).
-
This eye problem is inherited – this means it runs in families.
-
It is caused by a problem with your genes (called a “genetic
mutation”) that affects the ability of
cells in the eye to produce the energy they need to work normally, so
they become inactive.
-
LHON can lead to loss of eyesight due to the inactivity of cells
responsible for vision.
Treatment with Raxone can restore the ability of cells to produce
energy and so allow inactive eye
cells to work again. This can lead to some improvement in lost
eyesight.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE RAXONE
DO NOT TAKE RAXONE
-
if you are allergic to idebenone or any of the other ingredients of
this medicine (listed in
section 6).
