Getting started with NAGLAZYME® (galsulfase)
Here is how you will start NAGLAZYME:
Once you have a prescription, your physician and BPPS can help you find an infusion center and help make sure that your NAGLAZYME arrives at the center for you. If you don’t have a prescription for NAGLAZYME but think that NAGLAZYME may be right for you, talk to your doctor. Once you have a prescription, BPPS can help with billing and insurance.
You’ll go to the infusion center for your appointment. Before treatment, the nurse will make sure you don’t have a fever or infection. You may get an antihistamine or fever reducer to help you during the infusion.
The nurse will start an IV, prepare the NAGLAZYME, and start the infusion. The infusion will take about 4 hours.1 The nurse will check with you regularly to make sure you continue to feel ok. The rate of infusion may be adjusted if needed.
If you don’t feel well or have questions, talk to your nurse. The nurse can answer your questions, and may be able to help you be more comfortable.
After the infusion, you’ll wait a short while to make sure everything is still ok. Then you’ll go home until next week.
Home infusion
Sometimes your doctor and health plan will agree that you can get your infusion at home. In that case, the NAGLAZYME will be sent to your house and a nurse will come to your home, instead of you going to the infusion center. The nurse will prepare the infusion, give you the infusion, and make sure everything goes well. BPPS will continue to help you make sure the home appointments and your reimbursements go smoothly.
