NARRATOR:

“What is Oxbryta? Let’s take a closer look to see how Oxbryta works in the red blood cells.”

NARRATOR:

“Oxbryta is the first-of-its-kind medicine that’s FDA-approved for sickle cell patients as young as 4 years old.”

NARRATOR:

“INDICATION
What is OXBRYTA?

OXBRYTA is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of sickle cell disease in adults and children 4 years of age and older.
It is not known if OXBRYTA is safe and effective in children with sickle cell disease below 4 years of age.
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on increase in hemoglobin (Hb). Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trial(s).”

NARRATOR:

“IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not take OXBRYTA if you or your child have had an allergic reaction to voxelotor or any of the ingredients in OXBRYTA. See the end of the patient leaflet for a list of the ingredients in OXBRYTA.
Please see additional Important Safety Information throughout and at end of video. For more information, please see full Prescribing Information at Oxbryta.com.”

NARRATOR:

“Oxbryta treats sickle cell at its source by attaching to sickle hemoglobin and interfering at the start of the sickling process.”

NARRATOR:

“Oxbryta attaches to sickle hemoglobin and helps it hold oxygen so that it does not clump together. This helps the red blood cells stay healthy, keep their round shape, and deliver oxygen throughout the body.”

NARRATOR:

“Because Oxbryta impacts this very first step, it can reduce sickling and the breakdown of red blood cells, which is a good thing.”

NARRATOR:

“When fewer red blood cells break down, this can also mean that less bilirubin, the substance that causes yellowing of the eyes and skin, is released into the blood.”

NARRATOR:

“Let’s take an up-close look at how Oxbryta works. Blood smears are one way doctors can monitor the shapes of the red blood cells. The one on the left is a real patient’s blood smear before starting Oxbryta.”

NARRATOR:

“The blood smear on the right is from the same patient after taking Oxbryta as their doctor prescribed for 21 days. Please keep in mind that these images are for illustrative purposes only. Not everyone will respond the same way.”

NARRATOR:

“Remember, because Oxbryta impacts the very first step of the sickling process, it can reduce both sickling and the breakdown of red blood cells, which improves anemia. This helps hemoglobin do its job by keeping red blood cells healthy and round.”

NARRATOR:
