WHAT AMVUTTRA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The active substance in Amvuttra is vutrisiran.
WHAT AMVUTTRA IS USED FOR
Amvuttra is used for the treatment of an illness called ‘hereditary
ATTR’ or ‘hATTR amyloidosis’.
This is an illness which runs in families. hATTR amyloidosis is caused
by problems with a protein in
the body called ‘transthyretin’ (TTR). This protein is made mostly
in the liver and carries vitamin A
and other substances around the body.
In people with this illness, small fibres of TTR protein clump
together to make deposits called
‘amyloid’. Amyloid can build up around or within the nerves,
heart, and other places in the body,
stopping them from working normally. This causes the symptoms of the
illness.
HOW AMVUTTRA WORKS
Amvuttra works by lowering the amount of TTR protein made by the liver
which means there is less
TTR protein in the blood that can form amyloid. This can help to
reduce the effects of this illness.
Amvuttra is used in adults only.
