FDA approves Crenessity for treating congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a first in 70 years.

The FDA has approved Neurocrine Biosciences' Crenessity for treating congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) in adults and children as young as four. This first new treatment for CAH in 70 years reduces adrenal androgen production, allowing lower doses of glucocorticoids. Common side effects include fatigue, headache, and dizziness in adults, and headache, abdominal pain, and fatigue in children. Crenessity will be available through a specialty pharmacy in about a week.
