WHAT CIPLA ICATIBANT IS USED
FOR
Cipla Icatibant is used for
treating the symptoms of an
acute attack of hereditary
angioedema (HAE) in
adults, adolescents and children
aged 2 years and older.
During attacks of HAE, levels of
a substance in your bloodstream
called bradykinin are increased
and this leads to symptoms like
swelling, pain, nausea, and
diarrhoea.
_HOW IT WORKS _
Cipla Icatibant contains the
active ingredient icatibant. It
blocks the activity of bradykinin
and therefore, helps reduce the
symptoms of an HAE attack.
