1. What is Icatibanto Piramal and what is it used for
Icatibanto Piramal contains the active ingredient icatibanto.
Icatibanto is used for the treatment of symptoms of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in adults, adolescents, and children over 2 years old.
In HAE, concentrations of a substance present in the blood called bradykinin increase, which produces symptoms such as swelling, pain, nausea, and diarrhea.
Icatibanto blocks the activity of bradykinin and, therefore, slows the progression of symptoms.
