ARALAST is not indicated as therapy for lung disease patients in whom congenital A1-PI deficiency has not been established.

Important Safety Information

  • ARALAST is contraindicated in individuals with selective IgA deficiencies (IgA level less than 15mg/dL) who have known antibody against IgA, since they may experience severe reactions, including a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction to IgA, which may be present.
  • ARALAST is made from human plasma. It may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents, e.g. viruses, and theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent.
  • The most common symptoms during the clinical study were headache (0.3%) and sleepiness (0.3%). Post market adverse event data have indicated reports of infusion site pain associated with the administration of ARALAST.
