Orladeyo is a medication that contains the active ingredient berotralstat. It is usedto prevent angioedema attacksin adults and adolescents 12 years of age and older with hereditary angioedema.

What is hereditary angioedema

Hereditary angioedema is a disease that is often hereditary. It can limit your daily activities by causing episodes of swelling and pain in different parts of the body, including:

• hands and feet
• face, eyelids, lips, or tongue
• larynx, which can make breathing difficult
• genitals
• stomach and intestines

How Orladeyo works

In hereditary angioedema, the blood does not have enough of a protein called C1 inhibitor or this protein does not function correctly. This leads to an excessive amount of the enzyme kalikrein in the plasma, which in turn increases the levels of bradykinin in the bloodstream. An excessive amount of bradykinin causes symptoms of hereditary angioedema. Berotralstat, the active ingredient in Orladeyo, blocks the activity of plasma kalikrein and therefore reduces bradykinin. This prevents the swelling and pain that can cause hereditary angioedema.

Do not take Orladeyo

• if you are allergic to berotralstat or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
