Filsuvez is the brand name for birch triterpenes and is available as a topical gel.

Filsuvez is a topical gel that contains 10% of birch triterpenes.

Filsuvez is used to treat wounds from dystrophic and junctional epidermolysis bullosa (EB) in people 6 months of age and older.

Filsuvez is made from birch triterpenes, which is an extract from the bark of birch trees. It’s not clear how this medication works. But some experts believe that Filsuvez can help your wound heal in three ways. It lowers inflammation (swelling) and it helps promote new skin tissue to grow. It also helps make the skin barrier stronger for protection.

Apply a thin layer (about 1 mm) of Filsuvez gel to the affected area(s) with each dressing change. Use Filsuvez with every dressing change until the wound heals completely, or as directed by your healthcare team.

Filsuvez is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you.
