Drug Therapy
Drugs are approved in the U.S. by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for specific purposes to help guide medical practice.
Currently, there are no FDA approved drugs specifically for the treatment of HHT. However, there have been several promising studies and positive results for medications originally developed to treat other conditions.
