JENNY: What made me want to start TAKHZYRO®? I love that the dosing schedule is every two weeks.
BOBBI: I was interested in trying TAKHZYRO because I heard that it could lessen the frequency of my attacks and also the severity of my attacks, and that was something that meant a lot to me.
KELLY: I like the fact that most people were able to inject within a minute or less.
LEXI: I was, you know, trying to find any treatment method that just allowed me to take my medicine less. I wanted a chance to just have to have fewer attacks, the opportunity to have fewer attacks, and to be able to take medicine less.
LEXI: And so, having both of those opportunities, I knew I needed to give it a try.
SEBASTIAN: What interested me about TAKHZYRO was that it was every two weeks and that it wasn't plasma-based. That was really important.
