WHAT SOLIRIS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT IS SOLIRIS
Soliris contains the active substance eculizumab and it belongs to a
class of medicines called monoclonal
antibodies. Eculizumab binds to and inhibits a specific protein in the
body that causes inflammation and so
prevents your body’s systems from attacking and destroying
vulnerable blood cells, kidneys, muscles or
eye nerves and spinal cord.
WHAT IS SOLIRIS USED FOR
PAROXYSMAL NOCTURNAL HAEMOGLOBINURIA
Soliris is used to treat adults and children patients with a certain
type of disease affecting the blood system

PNH, their red blood cells can be
destroyed which can lead to low blood counts (anaemia), tiredness,
difficulty in functioning, pain, dark
urine, shortness of breath, and blood clots. Eculizumab can block the
body’s inflammatory response, and
its ability to attack and destroy its own vulnerable PNH blood cells.

Soliris is also used to treat adults and children patients with a
certain type of disease affecting the blood
