WHAT TAKHZYRO IS
USED FOR
TAKHZYRO is a medicine used in
adults, and adolescents aged 12 years
and older to prevent angioedema
attacks in hereditary angioedema
(HAE).
You may still experience acute HAE
attacks whilst using TAKHZYRO.
You should make sure that you carry
acute attack treatment and that you
use this treatment as advised by your
doctor.
HAE is a hereditary condition which
means it can run in families. It
happens when your blood does not
have enough of a protein called 'C1
esterase inhibitor' (or 'C1 inhibitor'),
or it does not work properly. This
leads to too much 'plasma kallikrein',
which in turn produces higher levels
of 'bradykinin' in your bloodstream.
Too much bradykinin leads to
symptoms of HAE like swelling and
pain.
TAKHZYRO contains the active
substance lanadelumab. It is a type of
protein that blocks the activity of
plasma kallikrein. This helps to
reduce the amount of bradykinin in
your bloodstream and prevents
