WHAT TRANSLARNA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Translarna is a medicine that contains the active substance ataluren.
Translarna is used to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy resulting from
a specific genetic defect that
affects normal muscle function.
Translarna is used to treat patients aged 2 years and older, who are
able to walk.
You or your child will have been tested by your doctor before starting
treatment with Translarna, in
order to confirm that your disease is suitable for treatment with this
medicine.
HOW DOES TRANSLARNA WORK?
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by genetic changes that result
in an abnormality in a muscle
protein called dystrophin which is needed for muscles to work
properly. Translarna enables the
production of working dystrophin and helps muscles work properly.
