Active Ingredient & Action
ALDURAZYME contains LARONIDASE, a recombinant human lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase enzyme that replaces the deficient enzyme in Pompe disease patients. LARONIDASE works by breaking down glycogen in muscle cells, thereby reducing glycogen accumulation and alleviating the symptoms of Pompe disease.
Important Notes
ALDURAZYME is administered via intravenous infusion and should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Patients should be monitored for signs of infusion reactions, such as rash, itching, and difficulty breathing. Regular monitoring of muscle strength and function is also recommended to assess the effectiveness of treatment.
