Acoramidis

Uses

This medication is used to treat a certain type of heart failure (transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis). It is used to help prevent the heart failure from getting worse and needing treatment in a hospital. Acoramidis works by slowing the buildup of a certain protein (amyloid fibrils) that causes heart problems.

Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day.
