WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
•
Life-threatening anaphylactic and severe allergic reactions have been observed in some patients during
Fabrazyme infusions. If severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions occur, immediately discontinue administration
of Fabrazyme and provide necessary emergency treatment. Appropriate medical support measures should be
readily available when Fabrazyme is administered because of the potential for severe infusion reactions (5.1).
•
Infusion reactions occurred in approximately 50 to 55% of patients during Fabrazyme administration in clin-
ical trials. Some reactions were severe. In patients experiencing infusion reactions, pretreatment with an
antipyretic and antihistamine is recommended. If an infusion reaction occurs, decreasing the infusion rate,
temporarily stopping the infusion, and/or administrating additional antipyretics, antihistamines, and/or steroids
may ameliorate the symptoms (5.2).
•
If severe infusion reactions occur, immediate discontinuation of the administration of Fabrazyme should be
considered, and appropriate medical treatment should be initiated. Severe reactions are generally managed
with administration of antihistamines, corticosteroids, IV fluids and/or oxygen as clinically indicated (5.2).
•
Patients with advanced Fabry disease may have compromised cardiac function, which may predispose them
to a higher risk of severe complications from infusion reactions, and these patients should be monitored
closely during Fabrazyme administration (5.3).
•
