WHAT ELAPRASE IS USED
FOR
Elaprase is used as enzyme
replacement therapy to treat Hunter
syndrome (Mucopolysaccharidosis
II), a rare genetic disease in which an
enzyme called iduronate-2-sulfatase
is missing or the level of the enzyme
is lower than normal.
Hunter syndrome generally occurs in
males and rarely in females.
Elaprase is available only with a
doctor's prescription. Only your or
your child’s treating doctor can start
the treatment and supervise the
ongoing treatment.
Elaprase is to be given only to the
person for whom it has been
prescribed.
_HOW IT WORKS _
Patients with Hunter syndrome do
not produce enough of their own
enzyme, iduronate-2-sulfatase. The
reduced iduronate-2-sulfatase levels
in patients result in the accumulation
of substances called
glycosaminoglycans (GAG) in a
number of cells and tissues. This
causes the affected cells and tissues
to function abnormally, thereby
causing problems for various organs
in the body.
Elaprase is an enzyme replacement
therapy that is intended to restore
sufficient levels of enzyme to assist
in the removal of the accumulated
substances and to reduce further
accumulation.
ASK YOUR TREATING DOCTOR IF YOU
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY IT
HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED FOR YOU OR
YOUR CHILD.
