Description
Revestive (teduglutide) is a medication used to treat short bowel syndrome (SBS) in patients who are dependent on parenteral nutrition. Each vial of Revestive contains 5 mg of teduglutide as a powder, which is reconstituted with a provided solvent before administration as a subcutaneous injection. Teduglutide is an analogue of glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), a hormone that plays a key role in maintaining the structure and function of the gut.
How It Works
Teduglutide, the active ingredient in Revestive, mimics the effects of the natural hormone GLP-2. GLP-2 enhances intestinal absorption by promoting the growth and repair of the lining of the intestine, increasing blood flow to the gastrointestinal tract, and reducing gastric motility. This helps patients with short bowel syndrome to absorb nutrients more effectively, potentially reducing their dependence on parenteral nutrition.Indications
