Learn why people trust TAKHZYRO to help reduce their HAE attacks.

DENNIS: My doctor told me about TAKHZYRO, and my wife and I did some research. At the end of the day, I trusted my medical team and what they told me. After discussing the potential risks and the possibility of fewer HAE attacks, we decided it was the right treatment to take. And it's definitely made a big difference for me. I'm glad I listened.

KELLY: Seeing the clinical data and how effective TAKHZYRO was got my attention. It told me that this is a clinically proven treatment to help prevent HAE attacks, and that gave me the confidence to start.

JACK: For me, taking TAKHZYRO once every two weeks means it's not something I need to think about often. Plus, it's subcutaneous, which means it's injected under the skin, not in the vein. That feels manageable for me.

ANDREW: The actual injection takes about a minute, and then I'm free from thinking about my next dose for a few weeks.

SORAYA: I can inject myself, and it takes about a minute. It's an important thing I can do for myself to help reduce the frequency and severity of my HAE attacks.
