Tezacaftor works by enhancing the function of a protein involved in chloride transport, which is often defective in individuals with cystic fibrosis.

Regular monitoring of liver function is recommended. The medication should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat, and kept out of reach of children.

What does Tezacaftor interact with?
