Odevixibat, sold under the trade name Bylvay, is a medication for the treatment of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC).[1][4] It is taken by mouth.[1]
The most common side effects include diarrhea, abdominal pain, hemorrhagic diarrhea, soft feces, and hepatomegaly (enlarged liver).[4]
Odevixibat is a reversible, potent, selective inhibitor of the ileal bile acid transporter (IBAT).[4][5][6]
Odevixibat was approved for medical use in the United States and in the European Union in July 2021.[1][2][3][7][8]
Medical uses
In the United States, odevixibat is indicated for the treatment of pruritus in people three months of age and older with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC).[1] In the European Union it is indicated in people six months of age and older.[2][3]
Mechanism of action
Odevixibat is a reversible inhibitor of the ileal sodium/bile acid transporter which is the transporter responsible for reabsorption of the majority of bile acids in the distal ileum. [9] The reduced absorption of the bile acids in the distal ileum compounds and leads to a decrease in stimulation of FXR, decreasing the inhibition of bile acid synthesis.[10]
Pharmacokinetics
Odevixibat is majorly protein-bound in-vitro. [10] A dose of Odevixibat that is 7.2 mg reaches a Cmax concentration of 0.47 ng/mL with an AUC (0-24h) of 2.19 h*ng/mL. [11] Adult and pediatric patients given the therapeautic dose of Odevixibat did not display plasma concentrations of the drug. [8] Odevixibat is eliminated majorly unchanged. [11] Odevixibat has an average half-life of 2.36 hours.[10]

Common side effects of Odevixibat include diarrhea, stomach pain, vomiting, abnormal liquid function tests, and a deficiency in vitamins A,D, E and K. [10]
