How you take it

An infusion into a vein that takes 1 to 2 hours. Your doctor sets the dose by weight and picks how often, from every 2 weeks to 3 times a week.

Before your first dose

A lab test or a genetic test that confirms Gaucher disease. Your insurance may ask for the report.
Your doctor plans the dose for you or your child. Tell the doctor's office if your weight changes.
Your insurance approves the medicine. CareConnect, the drugmaker's support program, can help. Call 1-800-745-4447 and press 3.
The first infusion is booked at a place that is ready to treat a serious allergic reaction.
If you had an allergic reaction before, you may get allergy medicine before each infusion.
Infusions may fall during work or school hours. Plan ahead for trips so you do not miss one.
