Indication and Usage

Cerezyme® (imiglucerase) for injection is indicated for treatment of adults and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with Type 1 Gaucher disease that results in one or more of the following conditions:

  • anemia (low red blood cell count)
  • thrombocytopenia (low blood platelet count)
  • bone disease
  • hepatomegaly or splenomegaly (enlarged liver or spleen)

Important Safety Information


Hypersensitivity and Infusion-Associated Reactions: Serious allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) have been reported in patients treated with Cerezyme. Symptoms suggestive of an allergic reaction have been reported during or shortly after an infusion and include itching, flushing, hives, swelling, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, coughing, cyanosis (a bluish discoloration of the skin due to diminished oxygen), rapid heart rate, and low blood pressure. Inform your doctor and seek medical care if you experience any of these symptoms. If you have had an allergic reaction to Cerezyme, you and your doctor should use caution if you continue to receive treatment with Cerezyme.

Immune Responses: Approximately 15% of patients have developed immune responses (antibodies) to Cerezyme during the first year of therapy. These patients have a higher risk of an allergic reaction (hypersensitivity). Your doctor may periodically test for the presence of antibodies.

Adverse Reactions:
Adverse reactions reported in adults include back pain, chills, dizziness, fatigue, headache, hypersensitivity reactions, nausea, pyrexia, and vomiting.

Adverse reactions reported in pediatric patients 2 years of age and older are similar to adults.
