TAKHZYRO is a subcutaneous (under-the-skin) injection you or a healthcare professional can administer to your child.
If your child is taking TAKHZYRO every 2 weeks and is well controlled (for example, experiencing zero HAE attacks for more than 6 months), their doctor may consider switching them to every 4 weeks.
Support from Takeda for you and your child
If you’re a parent or caregiver of a child with HAE, starting TAKHZYRO can be a big step for both of you. Takeda is here with support throughout your journey, beginning with injection training, which we will provide.
Self-administration is not recommended in children 2 to <12 years of age.
Tips for administering your child’s dose
Your child may feel nervous about receiving their TAKHZYRO injection. There are some tips you can try to help ease the process, for example finding a clean, well-lit space where your child will feel most comfortable to administer their dose. Additionally, here are some recommendations from the CDC:
- Be honest and calm—explain to your child, in simple terms, what they can expect. Try to remain upbeat and relaxed before, during, and after the injection
- Consider distraction—try to draw your child's attention away from the injection. Distractions might include a favorite song, a story, or even a silly face
