Take control of your HAE attacks with BERINERT self-administration
BERINERT is an intravenous (IV) injection that, with training, you can infuse on your own or with the help of a caregiver at the first sign of an HAE attack.
“I feel confident knowing I can do something about an attack, and that it doesn’t have to stop me from living my life.”

Treat HAE attacks at the first sign
On-demand therapy that you can self-administer gives you the power to react quickly to the first signs of an HAE attack, wherever you happen to be.
- The sooner you treat with BERINERT, the faster you will experience relief.
- Treating quickly is especially important if you experience a laryngeal attack, as it can be life threatening.
BERINERT is the only on-demand C1-INH approved for self-administration to treat acute abdominal, facial, or laryngeal attacks of HAE in adults and children.
Learning how to self-administer BERINERT can give you or your caregiver the confidence to treat attacks wherever life takes you.

Important information regarding self-administration
- Use these materials in combination with self-administration training from a healthcare provider.
- Never attempt to self-administer BERINERT unless you’ve been taught to do so by a healthcare provider.
- If you self-administer to treat a laryngeal attack, immediately seek medical attention afterward.
- If you self-administer for an abdominal attack, inform your physician so that other possible causes can be ruled out.
- Berinert should be infused only with a silicone-free syringe, such as the one included in the product package. If you must use alternative infusion supplies, be sure to obtain a silicone-free syringe.
