Uses of the Soliris 300mg Injection
Here are the specific uses of Soliris 300mg injection:
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH): This is a rare blood disease in which red blood cells are destroyed by the complement system, leading to anemia, fatigue, dark urine, and shortness of breath. Soliris helps to reduce the destruction of red blood cells and improve symptoms.
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS): This is a rare blood disease that causes damage to the kidneys, blood vessels, and other organs. It can cause kidney failure, seizures, and coma. Soliris helps to prevent blood clots and damage to the kidneys.
Myasthenia gravis (gMG): This is a rare autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness. It can affect the eyes, face, throat, arms, legs, and breathing muscles. Soliris helps to improve muscle strength in people with gMG who are positive for a certain type of antibody.
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD): This is a rare autoimmune disease that affects the optic nerves and spinal cord. It can cause vision loss, pain, and weakness in the arms and legs. Soliris helps to prevent attacks and improve symptoms in people with NMOSD who are positive for a certain type of antibody.
How Does Soliris Work?
Soliris works by blocking a protein called complement, which is part of the immune system. In some people, complement can attack and destroy red blood cells, leading to the symptoms of blood diseases.
