Information about Cinryze (C1 Esterase Inhibitor)

Cinryze is a prescription medication used to manage Hereditary Angioedema (HAE), a rare genetic disorder that leads to episodes of severe swelling in various parts of the body. It is derived from human plasma and contains a C1 esterase inhibitor, a protein that helps control inflammatory responses and prevents excessive swelling.

Product Highlights

  • Prevention of recurrent angioedema attacks in patients with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE).
  • Management of acute episodes of angioedema in patients with HAE.

Key Ingredient

  • C1 Esterase Inhibitor

Key Benefits

  • Helps to decrease the number of angioedema episodes.
  • Provides relief from the symptoms of acute angioedema attacks.
  • By preventing and managing swelling episodes, it improves overall well-being and daily functioning for patients with HAE.

Direction of Use

  • Administered intravenously, typically every 3 to 4 days, depending on the patient's condition and the frequency of angioedema attacks.
  • Administered intravenously at the onset of an angioedema attack or as prescribed by a healthcare provider.

Safety Concerns

  • Risk of hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis. Patients should be monitored during and after administration.
  • As the product is derived from human plasma, there is a potential risk of transmitting infections, though rigorous screening is performed.
  • Rarely, thromboembolic events (such as blood clots) may occur, so careful monitoring is required for patients with a history of such conditions.

Avoid Cinryze (C1 Esterase Inhibitor) If

  • You have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to Cinryze or any of its components.
  • You have an acute viral or severe infection, which may warrant caution or alternative treatments.
  • Patients with a history of thromboembolic disorders should avoid Cinryze unless the benefits outweigh the risks and under close medical supervision.
