Fabrazyme
Fabrazyme
Fabrazyme® (agalsidase beta) is an enzyme replacement therapy (ETR) for the treatment of Fabry disease in adult and pediatric patients (2 years and older). It supplies the enzyme that’s missing or deficient in Fabry disease. The fully functional enzyme helps clear GL-3 buildup in your cells, which helps break down the fatty substance (globotriaosylceramide) that builds up.
Fabry disease is a rare, inherited genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to break down certain fats (glycosphingolipids).
Administration Information
Administered via intravenous infusion. Fabrazyme is given every two weeks to help ensure that the body has an ongoing supply of fully functional enzyme to clear GL-3 in certain cells of the kidney, heart, and skin.
Potential Side Effects
The most common side effects of Fabrazyme treated patients in clinical studies compared to placebo were upper respiratory tract infection, chills, fever, headache, cough, burning and/or tingling sensation, fatigue, swelling in the legs, dizziness, and rash.
Please see full Prescribing Information on the manufacturer's website.
