WHAT IS ENZYME REPLACEMENT THERAPY?

Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is a specialized treatment for people with rare genetic disorders that cause enzyme deficiencies. These conditions prevent your body from breaking down certain substances, which can lead to serious health problems.

ERT therapy works by providing the missing or deficient enzyme through regular IV infusions.  The replacement enzymes support your body in breaking down substances it cannot process on its own, helping to relieve symptoms and enhance overall quality of life.

Common conditions treated with enzyme replacement therapy:

• Gaucher disease – Affects the spleen, liver, bones, and blood
• Fabry disease – Impacts the kidneys, heart, and nervous system
• Pompe disease – Weakens muscles throughout the body
• MPS I & MPS II (Mucopolysaccharidoses) – Affects multiple organs and tissues

ERT MEDICATIONS WE ADMINISTER

AmeriPharma Infusion Centers provide a full range of enzyme replacement therapy medications, including:

• Cerezyme (imiglucerase) – for Gaucher disease
• Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) – for Fabry disease
• Lumizyme (alglucosidase alfa) – for Pompe disease
• Elaprase (idursulfase) – for MPS II
• Aldurazyme (laronidase) – for MPS I

Your enzyme replacement therapy infusion is customized to your diagnosis, prescribed dosage, and infusion schedule. Our pharmacists review your treatment plan and work closely with your physician to ensure safe, effective care.
