Vosoritide, sold under the brand name Voxzogo, is a medication used to treat achondroplasia (dwarfism).[2][4] Specifically it is used in those who are at least two to five years old and still growing.[4][2] It is given by injection under the skin.[4]
Common side effects include injection site swelling, redness, itching, or pain; vomiting; and low blood pressure.[2][4] Safety in pregnancy is unclear.[2] It works by binding to a specific receptor called natriuretic peptide receptor-B, which reduces FGFR3, and therefore increases bone growth.[4]
Vosoritide was approved for medical use in Europe and the United States in 2021.[4][2] In France it costs about 260,000€ per year as of 2022.[5] This amount in the United States costs about 330,000 USD.[6]
