ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill. , Aug. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Orsini has been selected by Gilead Sciences, Inc., to dispense Livdelzi® (seladelpar), an oral therapy approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Aug. 14, 2024, to treat Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC). Read the Full Prescribing Information here.

PBC is a rare, chronic disease that impairs liver function; bile flow is reduced, and bile acids accumulate in the liver, elevating liver enzyme numbers to dangerous levels. The disease affects about one in 1,000 women over the age of 40 and is associated with fatigue, itching, poor appetite, weight loss and an increased risk of liver-related death.

"Livdelzi is an important treatment option to slow the progression of PBC and transform patients' quality of life," Brandon Tom, Orsini's CEO, said. "We're thrilled to partner with Gilead to address this need for people living with PBC and their families."
