• The combination of tezacaftor and ivacaftor is used along with ivacaftor to treat certain types of cystic fibrosis (an inborn disease that causes problems with breathing, digestion, and reproduction) in adults and children 6 years of age and older. Tezacaftor and ivacaftor should be used only in people with a certain genetic make-up. Your doctor may order a blood test to help decide if this medication is right for you. Tezacaftor is in a class of medications called cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) correctors.

Both of these medications work by improving the function of a protein in the body to decrease the build-up of thick mucus in the lungs and improve other cystic fibrosis symptoms.
