What is Haegarda?

Haegarda has FDA approval, is manufactured by CSL Behring GmbH, and distributed by CSL Behring LLC. Haegarda, C1 Esterase Inhibitor Subcutaneous (Human), is used to prevent angioedema attacks in patients 6 years of age and older with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE). HAE is a fatal genetic disorder. It presents as painful unpredictable episodes of swelling of the abdomen, larynx, face, and other areas of the body. As a prophylactic treatment, Haegarda can reduce the number of HAE attacks experienced.

What doses of Haegarda are available?

Haegarda is available as a lyophilized powder in a single-use vial, in the following doses: 2000[iU] in 4mL.

For routine prophylaxis against angioedema attacks in HAE patients, Haegarda is self-administered after reconstitution. It is given at a dose of 60 International Units per kg body weight by subcutaneous injection, twice weekly. The patient or healthcare professional should be trained on how to administer the subcutaneous injection.

Always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Haegarda active ingredients

Haegarda is a subcutaneous C1 esterase inhibitor (human) (C1-INH) therapy used for routine prevention of hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks in adolescent and adult patients. HAE patients have low levels or no endogenous functional C1-INH. Haegarda replaces the missing or defective C1-INH protein in patients with HAE, effectively reducing the risk of an HAE attack.
