HAEGARDA TREATS YOUR DISEASE, NOT JUST YOUR SYMPTOMS
The biggest difference since taking HAEGARDA is that for the first time in my life, I have a glimpse of what normal is. That feels good.
The root cause of HAE is missing or nonworking C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH), a key protein in your body that controls swelling
HAE attacks
can occur when your levels of working C1-INH are too low or not functional (nonworking)
HAEGARDA adds
working C1-INH to your body
HAEGARDA brings your working C1-INH levels back up
and closer to normal, reducing the risk of an HAE ATTACK

- In a long-term study, four pregnant women with type I HAE and ranging in age from 19 to 32 years received HAEGARDA. These women received 40–60 IU/kg per subcutaneous administration for 4–8 weeks (9–15 doses) during the first trimester. These women reported no complications during delivery, and all women delivered healthy babies||
Women often experience HAE differently than men do
UNDERSTAND WHYPlease refer to section 8 of the prescribing information for additional data on the use of C1-INH during pregnancy and lactation.
‖Due to study protocols, these patients were not eligible to continue the trial beyond the first trimester.
