SOLIRIS is the first and only FDA-approved treatment for PNH
PNH is a rare blood disorder in which red blood cells are chronically destroyed by a process called "hemolysis." The ongoing destruction of red blood cells leads to the signs and symptoms of PNH such as anemia, often requiring transfusions, disabling fatigue, recurrent pain, impaired quality of life, shortness of breath, and blood clots.
SOLIRIS® (eculizumab) works by targeting and reducing hemolysis — the underlying cause of PNH symptoms. By reducing red blood cell destruction, or hemolysis, treatment with SOLIRIS improves anemia, fatigue and other symptoms and helps PNH patients enjoy a better quality of life. In clinical trials, patients experienced fewer blood clots with SOLIRIS treatment as compared to the same period of time prior to treatment.
