Authorised
This medicine is authorised for use in the European Union.

Overview

Tegsedi is a medicine used to treat nerve damage caused by hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (hATTR), a disease in which proteins called amyloids build up in tissues around the body including around the nerves.

Tegsedi is used in adult patients in the first two stages of the nerve damage (stage 1, when the patient is able to walk unaided, and stage 2, when the patient can still walk but needs help).

hATTR is rare, and Tegsedi was designated an ‘orphan medicine’ (a medicine used in rare diseases) on 26 March 2014.
