Indications & Clinical Uses

Icatibant is used to treat conditions mediated by excessive bradykinin activity, primarily hereditary angioedema.

  • Acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (C1‑inhibitor deficiency): provides rapid relief of swelling and pain associated with HAE episodes.

How It Works

  • Icatibant selectively and competitively blocks the bradykinin B2 receptor, preventing bradykinin from binding and activating the receptor. This inhibition reduces bradykinin‑induced vasodilation and vascular permeability, thereby limiting the fluid extravasation and tissue swelling that characterize acute hereditary angioedema attacks.

Side Effects

Icatibant may cause a range of adverse reactions following subcutaneous administration.

Common Side Effects

  • Injection site pain: discomfort at the injection site.
  • Erythema: redness around the injection area.
  • Nausea: feeling of sickness or urge to vomit.
  • Headache: mild to moderate head pain.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Anaphylaxis: severe allergic reaction requiring immediate medical attention.
  • Severe hypotension: marked drop in blood pressure.
  • Angioedema: swelling of deeper skin layers or mucosa.
  • Thrombocytopenia: low platelet count that may increase bleeding risk.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Icatibant, consider the following safety measures.

  • Pregnancy: safety not established; avoid unless benefit outweighs risk.
  • Breastfeeding: unknown effects; weigh potential risks before use.
  • Renal impairment: use with caution and monitor renal function.
  • Concomitant ACE inhibitors: may increase bradykinin levels; monitor closely.
  • Storage: Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Avoid Interactions

Icatibant can interact with other medicines that affect bradykinin pathways or cardiovascular function.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • ACE inhibitors: may potentiate bradykinin‑mediated effects.
  • Neprilysin inhibitors: increase bradykinin levels.
  • Estrogen‑containing therapies: can raise bradykinin production.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • NSAIDs: may exacerbate gastrointestinal irritation.
  • Diuretics: could affect blood pressure stability.
  • Antihypertensive agents: monitor for additive hypotensive effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Icatibant Newbury is indicated for the treatment of acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in patients with C1‑inhibitor deficiency. It works by rapidly reducing swelling and associated pain during an HAE episode.

Icatibant is a selective competitive antagonist of the bradykinin B2 receptor. By blocking this receptor, it prevents bradykinin‑induced vasodilation and increased vascular permeability, which are the primary drivers of swelling in hereditary angioedema.

The dose of Icatibant Newbury is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition and clinical guidelines. The prescriber will specify the amount, frequency, and duration of treatment.

Safety data for icatibant in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision should be made by a qualified healthcare professional.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, indicating the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including cold‑chain where required) and import documentation.

Icatibant is a bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist, whereas other HAE therapies such as C1‑inhibitor concentrates replace the deficient protein. Icatibant provides a rapid, receptor‑targeted approach and is administered subcutaneously, offering an alternative for patients who prefer or require a non‑intravenous option.

Icatibant Newbury should be stored refrigerated at 2‑8 °C, protected from light, and must not be frozen or shaken. Keep the product in its original packaging until use to maintain stability.

The medication is supplied as a solution for injection and is administered subcutaneously, typically into the abdomen or thigh. The injection is performed by a healthcare professional or trained patient following the prescriber’s instructions.

Serious risks include anaphylaxis, severe hypotension, and rare cases of angioedema or thrombocytopenia. Patients should be monitored for signs of allergic reaction or sudden blood pressure changes after administration.

Icatibant is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to icatibant or any of its excipients. Caution is also advised for individuals taking ACE inhibitors, neprilysin inhibitors, or estrogen‑containing therapies due to potential additive bradykinin effects.
