WHAT CINRYZE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Cinryze contains the human protein called “C1-esterase inhibitor”
as the active substance.
C1-esterase inhibitor is a naturally occurring protein that is
normally present in the blood. If you have
a low amount of C1-esterase inhibitor in your blood or your
C1-esterase inhibitor is not working
properly, this can lead to swelling attacks (called angioedema).
Symptoms may include stomach pains
and swelling of the:

hands and feet

face, eyelids, lips or tongue

voice-box (larynx), which may make breathing difficult

genitals
In adults and children, Cinryze can raise the amount of C1-esterase
inhibitor in the blood and either
prevent (prior to undergoing medical or dental procedures) these
swelling attacks from occurring or
stop swelling attacks once they have begun.
In adults, adolescents and children (aged 6 y
