KALBITOR Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is KALBITOR?
KALBITOR is the brand name for ecallantide and iis available as a subcutaneous injection.
What dosages is KALBITOR available in?
KALBITOR is available as a 10 mg/mL of ecallantide as a solution for injection.
What is KALBITOR used for?
KALBITOR is a plasma kallikrein inhibitor and is used to treat sudden attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in adults and children age 12 years and older.
How does KALBITOR work?
KALBITOR is a plasma kallikrein inhibitor, which means it blocks a protein in the body called plasma kallikrein. People with hereditary angioedema (HAE) have very active plasma kallikreins. These proteins trigger the release of another chemical responsible for pain and swelling. KALBITOR treats HAE by blocking plasma kallikrein activity and preventing the proteins from triggering an attack.
How do I take KALBITOR?
KALBITOR is given as 30 mg (3 mL), administered subcutaneously in three 10 mg (1 mL) injections. If an attack persists, an additional dose of 30 mg may be administered within a 24 hour period.
Is it safe for me to take KALBITOR?
KALBITOR 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.
KALBITOR Common Side Effects

Serious side effects are rare with KALBITOR. It can cause a serious allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. This generally happens within the first hour of injection.

Your provider’ll ask you to stay to be monitored after your injection. They’ll provide help right away if you experience symptoms such as chest discomfort, flushing (blushing), swelling in your throat, itchy skin, runny nose, stuffy nose, throat irritation, hives, wheezing, and or trouble breathing.
