WHAT LIVMARLI
IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT IS LIVMARLI
Livmarli contains the active substance maralixibat. It helps to remove
substances called bile acids
from the body.
Bile acids are found in digestive fluid called bile which is produced
by the liver. Bile acids move from
the liver into the gut, where they help with digesting food. After
helping with digestion, they move
back into the liver.
WHAT IS LIVMARLI
USED FOR
Livmarli is used to treat cholestatic pruritus in patients aged 2
months and older who have Alagille
syndrome (ALGS).
ALGS is a rare genetic disease that can lead to a build-up of bile
acids in the liver. This is called
cholestasis. Cholestasis may get worse over time and often causes
severe itching, fatty deposits under
the skin (xanthomas), poor growth and feeling tired.
