Great question! For ATTR-CM, there are two oral (pill) medications that are FDA-approved:
- Tafamidis (Vyndamax) — a once-daily pill
- Acoramidis (Attruby) — also taken orally
Both are classified as TTR stabilizers, meaning they work by stabilizing the transthyretin protein in the bloodstream so it doesn't deposit in the heart and other tissues. It's worth noting that if neuropathy is also a concern, your doctor may consider other treatment options alongside or instead of these pills, since tafamidis and acoramidis are primarily approved for the heart-related form of the condition.
A specialist familiar with your full picture — heart involvement, nerve symptoms, and overall health — is really the best person to help figure out the right combination for you. Don't hesitate to bring up both concerns at your next appointment!
