Indications & Clinical Uses

Icatibant is used to manage hereditary angioedema, a disorder of the bradykinin pathway.

  • Hereditary angioedema type I: rapid reduction of swelling during acute attacks.
  • Hereditary angioedema type II: rapid reduction of swelling during acute attacks.
  • Hereditary angioedema with normal C1‑inhibitor: relief of acute swelling episodes.

How It Works

  • Icatibant selectively blocks the bradykinin B2 receptor, preventing bradykinin from binding and triggering vasodilation and increased vascular permeability. By inhibiting this pathway, the drug reduces the fluid leakage 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 or erythema.
  • Headache.
  • Nausea.
  • Fatigue.
  • Dizziness.
  • Flushing.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis.
  • Severe hypotension.
  • Angioedema unrelated to HAE.
  • Thrombocytopenia.
  • Cardiac arrhythmias.
  • Severe injection site infection.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Kisilea, consider the following safety measures.

  • Contraindication: Do not use in patients with known hypersensitivity to icatibant or any excipients.
  • Pregnancy: Use only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
  • Breastfeeding: Assess risk versus benefit, as icatibant may be excreted in milk.
  • Renal impairment: Monitor closely; no dosage adjustment is established.
  • Immunocompromised patients: Observe for signs of infection at the injection site.
  • Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Avoid Interactions

Icatibant may interact with other medicines; consider the following.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • ACE inhibitors: may increase bradykinin levels, potentially enhancing adverse effects.
  • Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs): similar risk of elevated bradykinin.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Other bradykinin pathway modulators: monitor for additive effects.
  • Antihistamines: may mask early signs of hypersensitivity.
  • Diuretics: watch for blood pressure changes.
  • NSAIDs: may increase risk of renal impairment.
  • Concomitant subcutaneous injections at the same site: may increase local irritation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kisilea is indicated for the treatment of acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in patients with C1 inhibitor deficiency. It provides rapid relief of swelling by targeting the bradykinin pathway.

Icatibant is a selective antagonist of the bradykinin B2 receptor. By blocking this receptor, it prevents bradykinin‑mediated vasodilation and increased vascular permeability, which are responsible for the swelling seen in HAE attacks.

The prescribed dose of Kisilea is determined by the treating physician based on the patient’s clinical condition. The medication is supplied as a 30 mg/1 mL injectable solution for subcutaneous administration.

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

To order Kisilea, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies 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.

Kisilea (icatibant) is a bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist, whereas other HAE therapies such as C1‑inhibitor concentrates replace the deficient protein. Kisilea offers a subcutaneous route and rapid onset, making it convenient for self‑administration during attacks.

Kisilea should be stored at 2‑8 °C in a refrigerator. Keep the product in its original packaging, protect it from light, and do not freeze or shake the vial before use.

Kisilea is administered as a subcutaneous injection. The 30 mg/1 mL solution is injected into the subcutaneous tissue, typically in the abdomen or thigh, by a healthcare professional or trained patient following the prescriber’s instructions.

Serious risks include hypersensitivity reactions such as anaphylaxis, severe hypotension, and rare cases of angioedema unrelated to HAE. Patients should be monitored for any signs of severe allergic response after injection.

Kisilea should not be used by individuals with known hypersensitivity to icatibant or any of its excipients. Caution is also advised for patients with severe renal impairment, uncontrolled hypertension, or those receiving ACE inhibitors or ARBs without medical supervision.
