Since Attruby was just approved by the FDA in 2024, there isn't much real-world data yet about people using both medications. Both medications work in similar ways by stabilizing the transthyretin protein to prevent harmful amyloid deposits. While both medications are approved to treat cardiomyopathy in amyloidosis, they have different side effect profiles. Attruby's common side effects include diarrhea and mild stomach pain. With Vyndamax (tafamidis), patients should watch for signs of allergic reactions like trouble swallowing, hives, chest tightness, or fast heartbeat.

I am taking Attruby as a test case until they decide whethre I'm poor enough not to pay both (I do know about the max per year for drugs). My Dr said he would be pleased if I could get a prescription for Attruby, even though there was little data available his opinion was that I should go with Attruby as it was a newer drug. Roy
