Icatibant is a bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist used in the treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE) caused by C1-esterase inhibitor deficiency. It works by blocking the effects of bradykinin, a peptide responsible for vasodilation and increased vascular permeability, which are key mechanisms in HAE-associated swelling.
It is administered via subcutaneous injection and can rapidly reduce symptoms of acute angioedema episodes, including laryngeal, facial, or abdominal swelling. Compared to other HAE treatments, icatibant has a fast onset of action and effectively shortens the time to symptom relief.
Common side effects include injection site reactions, nausea, headache, and fever. Its use is restricted to patients diagnosed with HAE, as it is not effective for allergic angioedema or angioedema induced by ACE inhibitors.
