When antihistamines alone aren't enough1
Patient portrayal.
Many patients take antihistamines but still struggle with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU)2,3
CSU symptoms can last months, years, or sometimes longer. It’s a long-term condition that requires continued management. When patients are unable to manage their symptoms, having CSU can feel frustrating.2,4–6
Angioedema associated with CSU is typically non life–threatening11
Typically, no risk of anaphylaxis. Angioedema in CSU does not usually involve airway compromise11
Angioedema involves sudden tissue swelling. Swelling commonly involves lower dermis and subcutaneous tissue or mucous membranes (eg, lips, eyelids)7,12
Patients with CSU experience a spontaneous occurrence of wheals, angioedema, or both due to no known external triggers.2,4,7,9,10 You play a crucial role in helping them understand the facts.
