Haegarda (complement C1 esterase inhibitor) is a man-made form of a protein in blood that helps control swelling in the body. People with a condition called Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) do not have enough of this protein. Hereditary Angioedema can cause attacks of swelling and symptoms such as stomach problems or trouble breathing.
Haegarda is an injectable medicine used to prevent swelling and/or painful attacks in patients 6 years of age and older with Hereditary Angioedema.
Haegarda should not be used to treat an acute HAE attack. In case of an acute HAE attack, initiate individualized treatment as discussed with your health care professional.
