Givosiran, sold under the brand name Givlaari, is a medication used to treat acute hepatic porphyria (AHP).[1] It is given by injection under the skin.[1] It is used in people over the age of 11.[1]
Common side effects include pain at the site of injection, nausea, and tiredness.[1] Other side effects may include anaphylaxis, kidney problems, and liver problems.[2] It is a small interfering RNA (siRNA) that decreases the amount of the enzyme aminolevulinic acid synthase 1 (ALAS1) and therefore decreases the production of heme.[1][3]
Givosiran was approved for medical use in the United States in 2019 and Europe in 2020.[2][1] In the United Kingdom a 189 mg vial costs the NHS about £4200 as of 2021.[3] This amount in the United States costs about 40,700 USD.[4]
