Can Attruby cause shortness of breath and weakness?

Based on available information, shortness of breath and weakness are not listed as common side effects of Attruby (acoramidis). The most common side effects reported with this medication are diarrhea and mild stomach pain.

However, it's important to understand that shortness of breath and weakness are common symptoms of ATTR-CM itself, the condition Attruby treats. These symptoms occur because amyloid deposits make the heart stiff and less able to pump blood effectively.

If you're experiencing new or worsening shortness of breath or weakness while taking Attruby, it's worth discussing with your healthcare team. They can help determine whether these symptoms are:

* Related to your underlying ATTR-CM
* A sign that your condition needs additional management
* Possibly connected to the medication

Contact your doctor promptly if you experience shortness of breath at rest, rapid worsening of breathing, chest pain, or fainting, as these warrant immediate medical attention.
