The short answer? While TED may not have a complete “cure,” you can absolutely get your life back.

TED happens when your immune system mistakenly attacks the tissues around your eyes, causing them to become inflamed and swollen. This inflammation makes your eye muscles and fat pads expand, which creates the bulging, double vision and discomfort.

If you are dealing with thyroid eye disease, there’s great news. Great innovations in medical advancements have led us to TEPEZZA, the first FDA-approved treatment that actually tackles what’s causing your symptoms, not just covering them up.

So, how does TEPEZZA work?

TEPEZZA is a game changer for TED patients. Clinical studies show it significantly reduces eye bulging, improves double vision, and get you back to doing the things you love. TEPEZZA does this by blocking a specific protein called IGF-1. This protein is the culprit behind fueling the inflammatory process that causes TED. That means TEPEZZA is targeting the specific problem that is causing TED.

The key difference is that Dementia is an umbrella term that describes a collection of symptoms that include severe decline in mental abilities due to the brain's physical deterioration. Alzheimer's disease is a specific type of dementia that is progressive and associated with early onset memory troubles.
