This medicine is authorised for use in the European Union.

Overview

Livmarli is a medicine used for treating patients aged 2 months and older with cholestatic pruritis (intense itching due to a build-up of bile) caused by Alagille syndrome.

Alagille syndrome is an inherited disease in which bile (a fluid produced in the liver that helps to break down fats) cannot drain properly from the liver, resulting in a build-up of bile acid in the liver and blood. One of the symptoms of this build-up is cholestatic pruritis.

Alagille syndrome is rare, and Livmarli was designated an ‘orphan medicine’ (a medicine used in rare diseases) on 18 December 2013. Further information on the orphan designation can be found here: https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/medicines/human/orphan-designations/eu-3-13-1214.

Livmarli contains the active substance maralixibat chloride.
