Pfizer Inc. (PFE) said Monday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved both Vyndaqel, or tafamidis meglumine, and Vyndamax (tafamidis) for the treatment of the cardiomyopathy of wild-type or hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis in adults to reduce cardiovascular mortality and cardiovascular-related hospitalization.
The health-care company said in a release that Vyndaqel and Vyndamax are two oral formulations of the first-in-class transthyretin stabilizer tafamidis, and the first and only medicines approved by the FDA to treat hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis.
Pfizer said that about 100,000 people in the U.S. have hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis.
The company said that approved recommended dosage is either Vyndaqel 80 mg orally once-daily, taken as four 20 mg capsules, or Vyndamax 61 mg orally once-daily, taken as a single capsule.
