ZEMAIRA- alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor human kitZEMAIRA- .alpha.1-proteinase inhibitor human kit


Patient Information

  • Inform patients of the early signs of hypersensitivity reactions to ZEMAIRA (including hives, generalized urticaria, tightness of the chest, dyspnea, wheezing, faintness, hypotension, and anaphylaxis). Advise patients to discontinue use of ZEMAIRA and contact their physician and/or seek immediate emergency care, depending on the severity of the reaction, if these symptoms occur[seeWarnings and Precautions (5.2)].
  • Inform patients that because ZEMAIRA is made from human blood, it may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents, e.g., viruses, the variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) agent and, theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent[seeWarnings and Precautions (5.3)].
  • Inform patients that administration of ZEMAIRA has been demonstrated to raise the plasma level of A1-PI, but that the effect of this augmentation on the frequency of pulmonary exacerbations and on the rate of progression of emphysema has not been established by clinical trials.
  • Dizziness may occur following the administration of ZEMAIRA; therefore, patients should rest for a while immediately following an infusion.
