WHAT MYALEPTA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Myalepta contains the active substance metreleptin. Metreleptin is
similar to a human hormone called
leptin.
WHAT MYALEPTA IS USED FOR

leptin in patients with lipodystrophy.
It is used in adults, adolescents and children 2 years or over:
-
who have generalised lipodystrophy (the whole of your body does not
have enough fatty
tissue)
It is used, when other treatments have been ineffective, in adults,
and adolescents 12 years or over:
-
who have partial lipodystrophy which is inherited (also called
congenital or familial
lipodystrophy)
-
or partial lipodystrophy has been caused by your body’s response to
something such as a viral
illness (also called acquired lipodystrophy)
HOW MYALEPTA WORKS
Natural leptin is produced by fatty tissue and has many functions in
the body including
