TAKHZYRO is a medicine used in adults, and adolescents aged 12 years and older to prevent angioedema attacks in hereditary angioedema (HAE).

You may still experience acute HAE attacks whilst using TAKHZYRO. You should make sure that you carry acute attack treatment and that you use this treatment as advised by your doctor.

HAE is a hereditary condition which means it can run in families. It happens when your blood does not have enough of a protein called 'C1 esterase inhibitor' (or 'C1 inhibitor'), or it does not work properly. This leads to too much 'plasma kallikrein', which in turn produces higher levels of 'bradykinin' in your bloodstream. Too much bradykinin leads to symptoms of HAE like swelling and pain.

TAKHZYRO contains the active substance lanadelumab. It is a type of protein that blocks the activity of plasma kallikrein. This helps to reduce the amount of bradykinin in your bloodstream and prevents symptoms associated with HAE.

EVOCAIR MDI is available a Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) also known as an "inhaler".

EVOCAIR MDI is used to help with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in people who need regular treatment.

Asthma is a condition affecting the lungs. Symptoms of asthma include shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness and cough. Two main causes of asthma symptoms are bronchoconstriction (tightening of the muscle surrounding the airways) and inflammation (swelling and irritation of the airways).

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a long-term condition affecting the lungs, resulting from chronic bronchitis or emphysema. Symptoms of COPD include shortness of breath, cough, chest discomfort and coughing up phlegm. The COPD symptoms are mainly due to bronchoconstriction (tightening of the muscle
surrounding the airways) and inflammation (swelling and irritation of the airways).

EVOCAIR MDI contains two medicines, fluticasone propionate and salmeterol xinafoate.

Fluticasone propionate belongs to a group of medicines known as corticosteroids, frequently called 'steroids'. They are not 'anabolic steroids' which are the steroids sometimes misused by athletes.

Corticosteroids have an
anti-inflammatory action. They reduce the swelling and irritation in the walls of the small air passages in the lungs and so help you to breathe more easily. Corticosteroids are used to treat asthma and COPD.

Salmeterol xinafoate is a bronchodilator. A bronchodilator keeps the breathing tubes in your lungs open and relieves the symptoms of asthma and other chest conditions. The effects of salmeterol xinafoate last for up to twelve hours.

When taken together regularly fluticasone propionate and salmeterol help to control your breathing difficulties.

DO NOT use this medicine to treat a sudden attack of breathlessness as it will not help you. You will need a different type of medicine, e.g. salbutamol, which you must not confuse with EVOCAIR MDI.
