Understanding Uplizna® 

Uplizna® (inebilizumab-cdon) is a prescription medicine used to treat neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) in adult patients who are anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody positive. By targeting and depleting B cellsthat contribute to the autoimmune attack, Uplizna® helps reduce disease activity, decrease relapse rates, and prevent further damage to the optic nerves and spinal cord.

How Uplizna® Works:

  • Targets and depletes B cells that play a role in NMOSD.
  • Reduces relapse rates, helping prevent flare-ups of the disease.
  • Helps protect the optic nerves and spinal cord, preventing further disability.

FDA Approval:
