WHAT FABRAZYME IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Fabrazyme contains the active substance agalsidase beta and is used as
enzyme replacement therapy
in Fabry disease, where the level of
-galactosidase enzyme activity is absent or lower than normal. If
you suffer from Fabry disease a fat substance, called
globotriaosylceramide (GL-3), is not removed
from the cells of your body and starts to accumulate in the walls of
the blood vessels of your organs.
Fabrazyme is indicated for use as long-term enzyme replacement therapy
in patients with a confirmed
diagnosis of Fabry disease.
Fabrazyme is indicated in adults, children and adolescents aged 8
years and older.

culture. The amino acid
sequence of the recombinant form, as well as the nucleotide sequence
which encoded it, are identical
to the natural form of
-galactosidase A.
