Why some stop taking Camzyos?

Posted by isamac @isamac, Sep 17 10:30am

Ive been in Camzyos 3+ months with no side effects so far. My diagnostics are showing some lessening of HCM symptoms.
I am a 65 year old woman.
Curious why some come off this drug?
My alternative would be open heart surgery.
Please state your age. Thanks! 🙂

There is a new drug "Aficantem" is in the final stage of trials pending approval by FDA. See here:

This will be a new alternative for those who have side effects with Camzyos.

My Camzyos is working great on me: reduced my septum basal from 2.2 cm to 1.4 cm in only 8 weeks and the gradient presure reduced from 295 mmHG to 25 mmHg. I no longer have chest pain (angina).

Good luck to everyone and all blessings to all of you.
