ORLADEYO (berotralstat dihydrochloride)
Orladeyo helps patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE) by preventing the onset of swelling attacks. This medication is used for adults and children as young as two years old who require long-term prevention of symptoms. It is important to note that this drug is not intended to treat acute HAE attacks once they have already started.
How ORLADEYO Works
This medication works by binding to plasma kallikrein and blocking its ability to produce bradykinin, a substance that causes blood vessels to leak. In patients with HAE, uncontrolled kallikrein activity leads to excess bradykinin, which results in the painful swelling and inflammation associated with the condition. By lowering this enzyme's activity, the drug helps control the underlying process that triggers attacks.
