WHAT RESPREEZA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT RESPREEZA IS
This medicine contains the active substance human alpha
1
-proteinase inhibitor, which is a normal
component of the blood and is found in the lung. There, its main
function is to protect the lung tissue
by limiting the action of a certain enzyme, called neutrophil
elastase. Neutrophil elastase can cause
damage if its action is not controlled (for example, in case you have
an alpha
1
-proteinase inhibitor
deficiency).
WHAT RESPREEZA IS USED FOR
This medicine is used in adults with known severe alpha
1
-proteinase inhibitor deficiency (an inherited
condition also called alpha
1
antitrypsin deficiency) who have developed a lung condition called
emphysema.
Emphysema develops when the lack of alpha
1
-proteinase inhibitor results in a condition in which
neutrophil elastase is not being properly controlled, damaging the
tiny air sacs in the lungs through
which oxygen passes
