1. What is Cerezyme and what is it used for
Cerezyme contains the active substance imiglucerase and is used in the treatment of patients with Type 1 or Type 3 and who manifest signs of the disease such as: anemia (low number of red blood cells), tendency to bleeding (due to a low number of platelets – a type of blood cell), enlargement of the spleen or liver or bone disease.
People affected by Gaucher's disease have low levels of an enzyme called acid-glucosidase.
This enzyme helps the body control levels of glucosylceramide, a natural substance in the body, composed of sugars and fats. In Gaucher's disease, levels of glucosylceramide can increase excessively.
Cerezyme is the artificial enzyme imiglucerase capable of replacing the natural acid-glucosidase enzyme that is deficient or not sufficiently active in patients with Gaucher's disease.

If you develop a reaction of this type you must immediately inform your doctor. Your doctor will perform a test to verify if you are allergic to imiglucerase.
- some patients affected by Gaucher's disease have high blood pressure in the pulmonary vessels (pulmonary hypertension). The cause may be unknown or may depend on problems with the heart, lungs or liver. It can occur independently of whether the
patient is undergoing treatment with Cerezyme. But, if you suffer from shortness of breath, you should
inform your doctor.

symptoms and other factors. The recommended dose is 60 units/kg of body weight administered once
every two weeks.
The doctor will closely monitor your response to treatment and may adjust the dosage
(increasing or decreasing it) until they find the most suitable dose for symptom control.

you are using the correct dose. This may happen every 6 or 12 months.

chronic neuropathic Gaucher's disease. Consequently, a specific dosage regimen cannot be recommended.

The following information is intended for healthcare professionals only:
Instructions for use – reconstitution, dilution and administration
Each vial of Cerezyme is for single use only. After reconstitution, each vial of Cerezyme contains 400 units of imiglucerase in 10.0 ml (40 units per ml).
Determine the number of vials that must be reconstituted based on the dosages of the therapeutic regimens for individual patients and remove the vials from the refrigerator.
Use aseptic technique
Reconstitution
Reconstitute each vial with 10.2 ml of water for injection; it is necessary to avoid a strong jet of water onto the powder and gently mix to avoid foaming in the solution; the reconstituted volume is 10.6 ml. The pH of the reconstituted solution is approximately 6.2.
After reconstitution, it is a clear, colourless liquid, free from particulate matter. The reconstituted solution must be further diluted. Before further dilution, the reconstituted solution from each vial must be visually inspected to exclude the presence of particulate matter and discoloration. Do not use vials that present with particulate matter and discoloration.
After reconstitution, dilute immediately and do not store for later use.
Dilution
The reconstituted solution contains 40 units of imiglucerase per ml. The reconstituted volume allows for accurate aspiration of 10.0 ml (equivalent to 400 units) from each vial. Withdraw 10.0 ml of reconstituted solution from each vial and combine the extracted volumes. Then dilute the combined volumes with 0.9% sodium chloride solution for intravenous administrations to obtain a final volume of 100 to 200 ml. Mix the infusion solution slowly.
Administration
It is recommended to administer the diluted solution through an in-line low protein binding filter of 0.2 µm to remove any protein particles. This will not cause any loss of imiglucerase activity. It is recommended to administer the diluted solution within 3 hours. The product diluted in 0.9% sodium chloride solution for intravenous infusion will maintain chemical stability if stored for up to 24 hours at 2°C to 8°C in the dark, but microbiological safety will depend on the fact that reconstitution and dilution are carried out aseptically.
Cerezyme does not contain preservatives. Unused product and waste derived from this medicinal product must be disposed of in accordance with local legal requirements.
