Linerixibat
What is Lynavoy used for?
This medication is used to treat skin itching caused by a certain type of liver disease (primary biliary cholangitis - PBC). PBC causes too much bile to stay in the liver, which can cause itching. Linerixibat belongs to a class of drugs known as ileal bile acid transporter inhibitors. It helps to lower the bile in the liver which may help reduce itching.
