Drug Info for kalydeco
Ivacaftor is used to treat certain types of cystic fibrosis (an inborn disease that causes problems with breathing, digestion, and reproduction) in adults and children 1month of age and older. Ivacaftor should be used only in people with a certain genetic make-up. Your doctor may order a blood test to help decide if this medication is right for you. Ivacaftor is in a class of medications called cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) potentiators. It works by improving the function of a protein in the body to decrease the build-up of thick mucus in the lungs and improving other symptoms of cystic fibrosis.
Kalydeco is indicated for the treatment of cystic fibrosis in patients with one mutation in the CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene. Cystic fibrosis causes body secretions such as mucus and digestive juices to become thick and cause blockage in many organs. Kalydeco reduces the thickness of mucus and digestive juices to relieve symptoms of this condition. It is indicated for use by patients 2 years and older. This medication is available as a tablet.
