Overview of Elaprase


Elaprase (idursulfase) is an IV infusion used to treat some of the symptoms of a genetic condition called Hunter's syndrome, also called mucopolysaccharidosis (MYOO-koe-pol-ee-SAK-a-rye-DOE-sis). Idursulfase contains a natural enzyme that some people lack because of a genetic disorder. Elaprase helps replace this missing enzyme.

Hunter syndrome is a metabolic disorder in which the body lacks the enzyme needed to break down certain sugars and proteins. These substances can build up in the body, causing enlarged organs, abnormal bone structure, changes in facial features, breathing problems, heart problems, vision loss, and changes in mental or physical abilities.

Elaprase may improve walking ability in people with this condition. However, this medication is not a cure for Hunter syndrome.

Important information

Elaprase may improve walking ability in people with Hunter syndrome. However, Elaprase is not a cure for this condition.

Some side effects may occur during the infusion, or up to 24 hours afterward. Get emergency medical help if you have any signs of an allergic reaction: feeling like you might pass out; hives; trouble breathing; seizure (convulsions); swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

You may be more likely to have a reaction to Elaprase if you have a breathing disorder. named patient program,Tell your doctor if you have asthma or other lung disease.
