1.
WHAT FASTURTEC IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Fasturtec contains the active ingredient rasburicase.
Rasburicase is used to treat or prevent high blood levels of uric acid
from occurring in adults, children
and adolescents (aged 0 to 17 years) with disorders of the blood cells
(haematological diseases) who
are about to receive or are receiving chemotherapy treatment.
When chemotherapy is given, cancer cells are destroyed, releasing
large amounts of uric acid into the
bloodstream.
Fasturtec works by allowing uric acid to more easily be removed from
the body by the kidneys.
2.

:
-

ALLERGIC
(hypersensitive) to rasburicase, other uricases or any of the other
ingredients of this
medicine (listed in section 6).
-

HAEMOLYTIC ANAEMIA
(an illness caused by red blood cells being abnormally
broken down).
WARNING AND PRECAUTIONS
Talk to your doctor, nurse or hospital pharmacist if you have a
history of any kind of allergy.
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any allergic type reactions due
to other medicines; Fasturtec can
cause allergic-type reactions, such as severe anaphylaxis including

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
Fasturtec is a recombinant urate-oxidase enzyme produced by
genetically modified
_Saccharomyces _
_cerevisiae _
strain. Rasburicase is a tetrameric protein with identical subunits of
a molecular mass of
about 34 kDa.
After reconstitution, 1 ml of Fasturtec concentrate contains 1.5 mg
rasburicase.
1 mg corresponds to 18.2 EAU*.
*One enzyme activity unit (EAU) corresponds to the enzyme activity
that converts 1 µmol of uric acid
into allantoin per minute under the operating conditions described:
+30 °C ± 1 °C TEA pH 8.9 buffer.
Excipient(s) with known effect:
Each 1.5 mg/ml vial contains 0.091 mmol of sodium, which is 2.1 mg of
sodium and 7.5 mg/5 ml vial
contains 0.457 mmol of sodium, which is 10.5 mg of sodium.
For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1.
