Several FDA-approved medications are available to help slow the progression of ATTR amyloidosis. Gene silencer drugs like Eplontersen (Wainua), Inotersen (Tegsedi), Patisiran (Onpattro), and Vutrisiran (Amvuttra) work by blocking the production of TTR proteins in your cells.

Your healthcare team may also recommend supportive therapies like occupational and physical therapy to help maintain function and quality of life while managing symptoms.
