What is Tegsedi?

Tegsedi is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Akcea Therapeutics, Inc. It is a transthyretin (TTR)-directed antisense oligonucleotide used to treat polyneuropathy of hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (HATTR amyloidosis) in adult patients.

A liver transplant is the standard therapy as TTR is mainly produced in the liver. Tegsedi inhibits the production of TTR. Tegsedi helps to improve the course of neurologic disease and the quality of life in patients. Tegsedi is available only through a restricted program called the TEGS EDI REMS Program.

What doses of Tegsedi are available?

Tegsedi is available in injection form, in the following doses: 284 mg/ 1.5 mL in a single-dose prefilled syringe.

The recommended dose is one injection once weekly, given under the skin in the belly, upper thigh, or upper arm. Laboratory tests must be taken before, during, and after discontinuation of treatment.

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