Product Overview
About Icatibant Accord
Icatibant Accord is a solution in a pre-filled syringe to be injected slowly under the skin.
What it is used for
Patients with hereditary angioedema have high levels of a substance called ‘bradykinin’, which is involved in causing inflammation and swelling.
How it is used
Treatment with Icatibant Accord should be started under the supervision of a healthcare professional. The recommended dose in adults is one single injection. If symptoms continue or come back, a second injection can be given after 6 hours. If needed, treatment can be repeated for a third time after an additional 6 hours. No more than three injections should be given in any 24-hour period. The dose for adolescents and children depends on their body weight.
How it works
The active substance in Icatibant Accord, icatibant, blocks the receptors that bradykinin normally attaches to. This blocks the activity of bradykinin, helping to relieve the symptoms of the disease.
