**What is FABHALTA?**
FABHALTA is a prescription medicine used to:
- Treat adults with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH).
- Reduce protein in the urine (proteinuria) in adults with a kidney disease called primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), who are at risk of their disease progressing quickly.
FABHALTA is approved based on a reduction of proteinuria. Continued approval may require results from an ongoing study to determine whether FABHALTA slows decline in kidney function.
- Treat adults with a kidney disease called complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G), to reduce protein in the urine (proteinuria).
It is not known if FABHALTA is safe and effective in children with PNH, IgAN, or C3G.
