Diflunisal and tafamidis are both used to treat amyloidosis, but they have different approval statuses and mechanisms:

- Diflunisal: Not officially approved to treat amyloidosis but used off-label. It may improve survival rates and help manage symptoms.
- Tafamidis: FDA-approved for treating hATTR amyloidosis. Studies show it improves neurological function, delays disease progression, and enhances quality of life.
