The safety and effectiveness of the drug prophylaxis for acute HAE attacks are yet to be proved.

Extra doses of ORLADEYO above 150mg once daily are not suggested as this could lead to prolongation of the QT [a measure of the heart’s electrical activity].

BioCryst chief commercial officer Charlie Gayer stated: “Today’s announcement marks the first approval of ORLADEYO in Latin America, which is an important step forward in addressing the significant unmet needs of hereditary angioedema patients who live in the region.

“With this approval, we continue our mission to bring ORLADEYO to patients around the world who could benefit from an oral, once-daily prophylactic treatment option to improve control of their HAE attacks.”
