teduglutide is a GLP-2 analog and is used to treat treatment of adults and children ages 1 year and older (and weighing at least 22 lbs) with SBS who are dependent on IV nutrition.
How does teduglutide work?
teduglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) analog. This means it acts like GLP-2, a chemical made by your body. GLP-2 helps more blood to flow to your intestines. It also helps your body absorb nutrients when you eat. People with SBS have damage to their intestines that prevents them from absorbing enough nutrients from the food they eat. This means that many people with SBS have to get their nutrients from a tube placed in their vein (known as IV nutrition). teduglutide helps people with SBS absorb more nutrients through the food they eat and can help lower the amount of IV nutrition they require.
