Jason
"Because I’ve lived without HAEGARDA, I know what a difference it makes."
Cheryl
"Don't let the disease control your life if you can control your disease."
Machelle
"It's important to me to prevent my HAE attacks because I'm a busy mom, a very busy wife, I have a job, I travel, I'm a patient advocate."
Our HAEGARDA Advocates are people who have personal experience living with HAE, so they know what you’re going through. They offer you encouragement, assistance, and advice by:
- Sharing their own experiences with HAEGARDA and life with HAE
- Answering nonmedical questions*
- Helping you better understand and manage your therapy
*Advocates are not healthcare providers or medical experts and are compensated for their participation. For medical questions, you should contact your physician.

ADVOCATE FOR YOUR FAMILY
HAEGARDA is indicated for patients 6 years of age and older. This means your loved one can live a full, happy life with HAE from childhood through adult years. You may be concerned about how having HAE will affect your loved one's life and your life. Many people find they can help successfully manage their loved one's condition by working with their doctors and live healthy, active lives.
HAE affects everyone differently
No two people are the same. The severity of HAE attacks, how often/where they occur, and the timing of attacks vary widely among individuals. The frequency of attacks can even change as a person gets older. Additionally, how people respond to treatment can vary as well, based on factors such as their weight.
Having HAE means your loved one will need to take a few precautions, such as:
- Identifying personal triggers and symptoms
- Always having an on-demand rescue treatment nearby
- Working to reduce physical and emotional stress
Know the precautions and understand triggers of an attack
Some of the following may trigger an attack:
Fatigue or Stress
Accidental Trauma
Dental or Medical Procedures or Surgery
Fever, Illness, Infection
Menstrual Cycle, Hormonal Changes
Certain Medications
Caregivers need support too. Find resources here.
