where. can I learn more about self-administration?
When you notice the signs of a possible HAE attack, being able to self-administer means you can act quickly, wherever you are.
Being able to self-administer has given me so much freedom, it opens up so many doors, it lets you travel, it lets you have a normal life
Your medicine is an intravenous (IV) injection that, with training, you can infuse on your own (or with the help of a caregiver) at the first sign of an HAE attack. Learning how to self-administer your medicine can give you the confidence to treat attacks wherever life takes you.
Remember, only self-administer your medicine if you have consulted with your HAE care team and received training in how to do so. Ask your HAE care team if you have any questions or concerns about administering your medicine.
Acting quickly
Treating an attack early can reduce how long an attack goes on for,1 so getting to grips with how to prepare and administer your medicine is really important in helping you manage your HAE.
Your HAE care team will show you how to administer your medicine properly and the information in this section can support the training they provide. You will find resources to help you while you are self-administering, and you can also hear about the experiences of other people who self-administer.
where. can you hear stories from others about self-administering for HAE?
