WHAT STRENSIQ IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT IS STRENSIQ
Strensiq is a medicine used to treat the inherited disease
hypophosphatasia that started in childhood. It
contains the active substance asfotase alfa.
WHAT IS HYPOPHOSPHATASIA
Patients with hypophosphatasia have low levels of an enzyme called
alkaline phosphatase that is
important for various body functions, including the proper hardening
of bones and teeth. Patients have
problems with bone growth and strength, which can lead to broken
bones, bone pain, and difficulty
walking, as well as difficulties with breathing and a risk of seizures
(fits).
WHAT IS STRENSIQ USED FOR
The active substance in Strensiq can replace the missing enzyme
(alkaline phosphatase) in
hypophosphatasia. It is used for long-term enzyme replacement
treatment to manage symptoms.
