What is Amvuttra?

Amvuttra is used to treat polyneuropathy (damage of multiple nerves throughout the body) in adults with hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR).

Amvuttra may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

Follow all directions on your medicine label and package. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all your medical conditions, allergies, and all medicines you use.

How should I take Amvuttra

Amvuttra is given as a subcutaneous injection (under the skin) once every 3 months.

A healthcare provider will give you this injection.

Your doctor may have you take extra vitamin A while you are using Amvuttra. Take only the amount of vitamin A your doctor has prescribed, especially if you are pregnant. An overdose of vitamin A can cause vision problems or other serious side effects.

Call your doctor at once if you have vision problems (especially at night) while you are taking vitamin A.

You may need frequent medical tests. Even if you have no symptoms, tests can help your doctor determine if this medicine is effective. You may also need frequent eye exams.
