I got an answer to the question with a change in medicine. I have been on Vyndamax for 3+ years and have just had Amvuttra added a few weeks ago.
This combination is administered differently and has apparently had good results. Too early for me to comment on any results.

Taking Vyndamax (tafamidis) and Attruby (acoramidis) at the same time is not something that would typically be recommended. Both medications work in the same way — they are TTR stabilizers, meaning they both work to stabilize the transthyretin protein to prevent amyloid deposits from building up.

Taking Vyndamax (tafamidis) and Attruby (acoramidis) at the same time is not something that would typically be recommended. Both medications work in the same way — they are TTR stabilizers, meaning they both work to stabilize the transthyretin protein to prevent amyloid deposits from building up.

Since they share the same mechanism of action, combining them would not be expected to provide added benefit, and it could increase the risk of side effects. It's really important to have this conversation with your amyloidosis specialist before making any changes to your treatment. They can help determine which single medication is the best fit based on:

- Your specific symptoms
- How well you're tolerating your current treatment
- Any other factors affecting your organ function
- Your personal preferences for how a medication is taken

The good news is that there are solid options available, and your doctor can work with you to find the right one for your situation.
