Product Overview
About Strensiq
Strensiq is a solution for injection.
What it is used for
Strensiq is used to increase levels of working ALP.
How it is used
Strensiq can only be obtained with a prescription and treatment should be started by a doctor who is experienced in managing metabolic or bone disorders. It is given by injection under the skin either six times a week (in a dose of 1 mg per kilogram bodyweight) or three times a week (in a dose of 2 mg/kg). As the amount given depends on the patient’s bodyweight, the doctor will need to adjust the dose as the patient’s weight changes, particularly in growing children.
How it works
The enzyme ‘tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase’ (ALP) plays a key role in creating and maintaining healthy bones, and managing calcium and phosphate in the body. Asfotase alfa, the active substance in Strensiq, is a version of the human ALP enzyme and serves as a replacement, thereby increasing levels of working ALP.
Active substance: Asfotase alfa, a version of the human ALP enzyme.
