Patients who have experienced anaphylaxis or hypersensitivity reactions may require close observation during and after alglucosidase alfa administration.

The Pompe Registry will also monitor the effect of alglucosidase alfa on pregnant women and their offspring[seeUse in Specific Populations (8.1)]. Patients and their caregivers should be encouraged to participate in the Pompe Registry and advised that their participation is voluntary and may involve long-term follow-up.
