Tepezza is a prescription medicine that is known to treat Thyroid Eye Disease. It is created by Horizon Pharmaceuticals Inc. and given as an injection by a health care provider every few weeks.
People who are diagnosed with Thyroid Eye Disease usually experience symptoms such as dry eyes, watery eyes, puffy skin around the eyes, red eyes, and even vision loss. Most people who have Thyroid Eye Disease also have thyroid issues, such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
These symptoms can become irritating to patients, so it is common to seek out treatment options. Physicians usually take about 60-90 minutes to fully administer Tepezza, and patients who complete the treatment plan typically undergo a total of eight injections.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Tepezza at the beginning of 2020. It was given orphan status, which means it is for patients with rare health conditions, such as Thyroid Eye Disease, that do not have any other treatment options.
Prescription medications that are given orphan status typically become available to patients quickly and then are studied to determine their safety after becoming available. Tepezza was the first FDA-approved prescription for Thyroid Eye Disease. However, during the clinical trials reported by the FDA, 10 percent of patients experienced hearing impairment. The report stated that these hearing impairments included “deafness, eustachian tube dysfunction, hyperacusis, hypoacusis, and autophony.”
