The recommended dose is 300 mg every 2 weeks. It takes about 6 doses of TAKHZYRO for the amount of medication to become constant in your body. If you experience zero attacks for more than 6 months, your doctor may consider prescribing TAKHZYRO 300 mg every 4 weeks.

Before starting treatment with TAKHZYRO, you will receive training to ensure you know how to administer your therapy. Do not attempt to take TAKHZYRO without first being trained by a healthcare provider.

Give TAKHZYRO 2.5 months to reach steady state

With your first dose of TAKHZYRO, the medicine will start to build up in your body. Over the course of your first 6 doses, TAKHZYRO will reach a constant level—also known as "steady state." Once you get there, it’s important to keep taking TAKHZYRO exactly as prescribed to help maintain steady state.

The clinical study that lasted 6.5-months included 125 people with HAE aged 12 years and older.

Take each dose as prescribed

TAKHZYRO continues to work as you take it, so it is important to take each dose as prescribed by your doctor. Remember also to avoid missing or skipping doses.

Breakthrough attacks
It's possible to experience breakthrough attacks while taking TAKHZYRO. Some people may experience them more frequently in the first few months of treatment.

Always keep your on-demand treatment nearby in case you have a breakthrough attack.

If you do experience a breakthrough attack, don't get discouraged. Let your doctor know, and continue to take TAKHZYRO as prescribed.

Stay the course
Over time, you may notice your attacks are less severe or that you’re using your on-demand treatment less. These are signs that TAKHZYRO is working.

  • The goal was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAKHZYRO
  • People taking TAKHZYRO 300 mg every 2 weeks saw a significant reduction in the number of monthly attacks by 87% on average compared with placebo
  • They also had an average of 83% fewer moderate or severe attacks and 87% fewer attacks requiring on-demand treatment compared with placebo
  • In a later analysis of the 6.5-month clinical study, after patients received their sixth dose of TAKHZYRO, 77% had zero attacks for the last 4 months of the study, compared to 3% of those taking placebo
    • While supportive of the main findings, the results above were not the primary focus of the clinical study. It was not designed to measure the percentage of people who had zero attacks after 2.5 months of treatment through the end of the study

In the same study, 44% of people had zero attacks for the entire 6.5 months, compared with 2% of people taking placebo.

Get ready for your next doctor check-in

Checking on your progress is key to success— you've been tracking those goals so you and your doctor can see just how far you've come.

Here are some discussion points for your next doctor appointment:

  • Your HAE attacks: What are they like now compared to before you started taking TAKHZYRO?
  • Triggers: What things do you notice trigger your attacks (stress, exhaustion, hormonal fluctuations, physical pressure)?
  • On-demand medication: How often do you use it now that you're taking TAKHZYRO?

Be sure to journal your progress. Have you been using the Journey Journal? Bring it along and share the details with your doctor.

Since your needs might change over time, the 2020 US Hereditary Angioedema Association (HAEA) guidelines recommends you take into account the following as you create or revisit your plan:

  • Any other health issues you may have
  • The advantages of keeping a symptom and treatment tracker you can review with your doctor

The first level to staying on track is to think ahead. I make sure that I have my medication in the fridge, and when it's time for me to inject, I take it out 15 minutes before I need to inject to ensure it's at the proper temperature.
