Can Zavesca be used to treat type 1 Gaucher disease that has not been previously treated?
Yes! Zavesca has been studied in adult patients with mild to moderate type 1 Gaucher disease who had never previously been treated because ERT was not a therapeutic option.1 Within as little as 6 months, people treated with Zavesca had improvements in 4 key areas: • There was a reduction in the size of livers and spleens.1 • Hemoglobin concentration and platelet counts increased.1 Your doctor will generally monitor these 4 key areas in addition to other tests to see how your treatment is doing.
