Raxone (also known as Idebenone) is a drug produced by Santhera Pharmaceuticals, which treats several conditions and has the potential to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It is presently available in the UK on the Early Access to Medicines Scheme for patients who meet the criteria.
In partnership with fellow organisations, Muscular Dystrophy UK, Duchenne UK, the Duchenne Family Support Group, and DMD Pathfinders, we have produced two guides for families and healthcare professionals to educate and answer questions on the drug and EAMS process.
