Vyndaqel 61mg is indicated for the treatment of wild‑type or hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis in adult patients with cardiomyopathy
(ATTR-CM).1

▼ This medicinal product is subject to additional monitoring. This will allow quick identification of new safety information. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions. Refer to section 4.8 of the SmPC for how to report adverse reactions.

VYNDAQEL is the only approved treatment that specifically targets TTR destabilization—the cause of disease pathogenesis—and fortifies the TTR tetramer to preserve its natural function1-9

VYNDAQEL binds to TTR at the thyroxine-binding sites, stabilizing the tetramer and inhibiting amyloidosis-allowing TTR to circulate naturally through the bloodstream3,5,10

  • For patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), VYNDAQEL (tafamidis meglumine) provides powerful stabilization to prevent TTR tetramers from further dissociating into monomers, the rate-limiting step in the amyloidogenic process3-6,10
  • In clinical studies, VYNDAQEL (tafamidis meglumine) achieved TTR stabilization in 86% of patients with ATTR-CM11*
  • Over a 30-month clinical study, ATTR-CM patients using VYNDAQEL (tafamadis meglumine) 80 mg had a higher mean TTR concentration than those on VYNDAQEL (tafamidis meglumine) 20 mg or placebo12*
See the mechanism of action (MOA) of VYNDAQELA phase 3, multicenter, international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, which evaluated pooled VYNDAQEL doses of 20 mg and 80 mg in 441 patients with wild-type or hereditary ATTR-CM.13ATTR-CM=transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy; TTR=transthyretin.
