Treating PNH

Rediscover possibilities beyond your PNH that improve your daily life

People living with PNH can experience physical symptoms such as fatigue, weakness and shortness of breath, as well as cognitive symptoms such as lack of concentration that can impact daily life.^1-5

This breadth of symptoms, along with regular doctor and hospital visits may limit choices in day-to-day life and affect future life aspirations.^{2, 6, 7}

It is important that you communicate your goals and future aspirations to your doctor, so that they can work with you to find the treatment option that would be best suited for you.

It is also important that you monitor and assess any treatment option you may be taking. Speak with your doctor if you feel your current treatment option isn’t working for you, so they can work with you to find an alternative solution for you. For support with your upcoming appointment, download our guide.
