WHAT ALDURAZYME IS AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR
Aldurazyme is used to treat patients with MPS I disease
(Mucopolysaccharidosis I). It is given to treat
the non-neurological manifestations of the disease.
People with MPS I disease have either a low level or no level of an
enzyme called
α
-L-iduronidase,
which breaks down specific substances (glycosaminoglycans) in the
body. As a result, these
substances do not get broken down and processed by the body as they
should. They accumulate in
many tissues in the body, which causes the symptoms of MPS I.
Aldurazyme is an artificial enzyme called laronidase. This can replace
the natural enzyme which is
lacking in MPS I disease.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU ARE GIVEN ALDURAZYME
YOU SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN ALDURAZYME
