Overview

Strensiq is a medicine used long-term to treat patients with hypophosphatasia that started in childhood. Hypophosphatasia is a rare inherited disease of the bones which can lead to early loss of teeth, malformed bones, frequent bone fractures, and difficulty breathing.

Hypophosphatasia is rare, and Strensiq was designated an ‘orphan medicine’ (a medicine used in rare diseases) on 3 December 2008.
