Frequently asked questions about OXLUMO

Who can take OXLUMO?

OXLUMO is a prescription medicine for the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) to lower oxalate in urine in children and adults. Your doctor will determine if OXLUMO is right for you.

What is OXLUMO and how does it work?

OXLUMO is a prescription medicine for the treatment of PH1 to lower oxalate in urine in children and adults.

  • OXLUMO targets the GO enzyme—a liver enzyme involved in making oxalate
  • OXLUMO reduces levels of the GO enzyme so that less oxalate is made and sent to the kidneys
What are the most common side effects of OXLUMO?

The most common side effects of OXLUMO are injection site reaction (including redness, pain, itching, or swelling at the site of the injection) and abdominal pain (including stomach pain or discomfort). These are not all the possible side effects of OXLUMO. Talk to your doctor about side effects that you experience. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1‑800‑FDA‑1088.

How is OXLUMO given?

OXLUMO is an injection administered by a healthcare provider. OXLUMO is injected under the skin. Injection sites can include the area under the skin on the abdomen, thighs, or upper arms.

Dosing of OXLUMO is based on the patient’s weight. Dosing happens in 2 phases:

  • Four starting doses are given 1 month apart at the start of treatment to help bring urinary oxalate levels down

  • Ongoing dosing is quarterly (every 3 months) or monthly, depending on the patient’s weight

    • For children under 10 kg (22 lb), 1 DOSE EVERY MONTH

    • For patients weighing 10 kg (22 lb) or more, 1 DOSE EVERY 3 MONTHS

OXLUMO can cause injection site reactions. Symptoms included redness, pain, itching, or swelling at the site of injection.
