Ecallantide
Alternative Names: Kalbitor
Ecallantide is a medication used to treat acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE). It works by blocking the enzyme plasma kallikrein, which reduces the production of bradykinin, the substance responsible for swelling in HAE. By lowering bradykinin levels, it helps relieve swelling and pain during an attack. It is given by subcutaneous injection, usually by a healthcare provider, due to a small risk of allergic reaction. Ecallantide is used for on-demand treatment, not for prevention of future attacks.
