What is REZDIFFRA?

REZDIFFRA is a prescribed medicine used along with diet and exercise to treat adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), formerly known as noncirrhotic nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), with moderate to advanced liver scarring (fibrosis) but not with cirrhosis of the liver.

Before you take REZDIFFRA, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

  • have any liver problems other than MASH.

REZDIFFRA may cause serious side effects, including:

…

  • gallbladder problems. Gallbladder problems such as gallstones, or inflammation of the gallbladder, or inflammation of the pancreas from gallstones can occur with MASH and may occur if you take REZDIFFRA. Call your healthcare provider right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of these conditions, including nausea, vomiting, fever, or pain in your stomach area (abdomen) that is severe and will not go away. The pain may be felt going from your abdomen to your back and the pain may happen with or without vomiting.
