What does it do?

Tafamidis is a drug that helps stabilize the transthyretin protein and is used in the treatment of amyloidosis. This ingredient is effective against neurologic disorders and primarily aims to alleviate symptoms caused by transthyretin misfolding.

Tafamidis prevents the abnormal transformation of the transthyretin protein, thus halting the accumulation of amyloid. This reduces nerve damage and slows the progression of the disease.
