Understanding HAE Guidelines
Talk to your doctor about the frequency and severity of your HAE attacks when developing a treatment plan.
It's important to have an acute treatment on hand in addition to exploring preventive therapy.
You should evaluate the need for long-term preventive treatment at every doctor’s visit or at least once a year.
Considering preventive therapy
Preventive treatment is also sometimes referred to as prophylactic therapy and involves taking medicine routinely to help prevent or reduce the frequency and severity of HAE attacks.
By considering a preventive approach, you can take an active role in managing and treating your or your loved one’s HAE.
It's important to work closely with your doctor when creating a treatment plan that's right for you. Ask your doctor about different treatment options, including preventive and acute therapy.
