What it is and what it is used for

for

What Enspryng is Enspryng contains the active substance satralizumab. It is a type of protein called a monoclonal antibody. Monoclonal antibodies are designed to recognise and attach to a specific substance in the body. What Enspryng is used for Enspryng is a medicine for treating neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) in adults and young people from 12 years of age. What is NMOSD NMOSD is a disease of the central nervous system that mainly affects the optic nerves and spinal cord. It is caused by the immune system (the body's defences) working incorrectly and attacking nerves in the body.

• The damage to the optic nerves causes swelling, leading to pain and loss of sight.
• The damage to the spinal cord causes weakness or loss of movement in the legs or arms, loss of feeling, and problems with bladder and bowel function. In an attack of NMOSD, there is swelling in the nervous system. This also happens when the disease comes back (relapse). The swelling causes new symptoms or a return of previous symptoms.

How Enspryng works Enspryng blocks the action of a protein called interleukin-6 (IL-6), which is involved in the processes that lead to damage and swelling in the nervous system. By blocking its effects, Enspryng reduces the risk of a relapse or attack of NMOSD. 2.

This will allow it to reach room temperature (see Figure G). It is important to let the syringe gently reach room temperature because injecting cold medicine may feel uncomfortable and make it harder to push the plunger.

• Do not speed up the warming process by heating the syringe in any way.
• Do not remove the needle cover while the syringe is reaching room temperature.
