Phebra launches Rapiblyk® in Australian healthcare settings

Phebra < 1 min read

Australian Pharmaceutical company Phebra (‘Company’) has announced the launch of Rapiblyk® (landiolol hydrochloride), an ultra‑short‑acting, cardio-selective receptor antagonist, indicated for rapid control of ventricular rate in patients with severe, acute cardiac arrhythmias (irregular rapid heart rate) in critical care settings.

 

Clinical studies have demonstrated that Rapiblyk® enables safe, effective heart rate control with limited impact on blood pressure and inotropy (heart contractility). Rapiblyk® has a very short half life delivering a fast onset and offset of action. This provides clinicians with a higher level of precision in life-threatening situations.

Phebra CEO Andre Vlok highlighted how Rapiblyk® strengthens the company's critical care portfolio.

“We’re proud to bring this potentially life-saving treatment for acute cardiac arrhythmias to Australia,” he said.

“With a strong clinical track record in Japan, Europe and the US, Rapiblyk® offers new options for managing acute heart conditions. It expands our innovative medicines, addressing key needs of Australian healthcare professionals and patients.”
