WHAT GALAFOLD IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Galafold
contains the active substance migalastat.
This medicine is used for the long-term treatment of Fabry disease in
adults
and adolescents aged
12 years and older who have certain genetic mutations (changes).
Fabry disease is caused by the lack of or a faulty enzyme called
alpha-galactosidase A (α-Gal A).
Depending upon the kind of mutation (change) in the gene that produces
α-Gal A, the enzyme does
not work properly or is completely absent. This enzyme defect leads to
abnormal deposits of a fatty
substance known as globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) in kidneys, heart, and
other organs, leading to the
symptoms of Fabry disease.
This medicine works by stabilising the enzyme that your body produces
naturally, so that it can work
better to reduce the amount of GL-3 that has accumulated in your cells
and tissues.
