Important Safety Information

WARNING: HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS INCLUDING ANAPHYLAXIS

Patients treated with enzyme replacement therapies have experienced life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis has occurred during the early course of enzyme replacement therapy and after extended duration of therapy.

Initiate CEREZYME in a healthcare setting with appropriate medical monitoring and support measures, including access to cardiopulmonary resuscitation equipment. If a severe hypersensitivity reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) occurs, discontinue CEREZYME and immediately initiate appropriate medical treatment, including use of epinephrine. Inform patients of the symptoms of life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, and to seek immediate medical care should symptoms occur.

Warnings and Precautions:

Hypersensitivity Reactions Including Anaphylaxis: See Boxed WARNING.
Patients with antibody to imiglucerase have a higher risk of hypersensitivity reactions. Consider periodic monitoring during the first year of treatment for lgG antibody formation.

Consider risks and benefits of readministering Cerezyme to individual patients following a severe reaction. Consider reducing the rate of infusion, pretreat with antihistamines and/or corticosteroids, and monitor patients for new signs and symptoms of a severe hypersensitivity reaction.

Infusion-Associated Reactions:
Infusion associated reactions (IARs) have been observed in patients treated with Cerezyme. If an IAR occurs, decreasing the infusion rate, temporarily stopping the infusion and/or administering antihistamines and/or antipyretics may ameliorate the symptoms. Closely monitor patients who have experienced IARs when re-administering Cerezyme.

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.
