ARALAST Tolerability

• Considering Alpha-1 Testing
• Newly Diagnosed with Alpha-1
• Living With Alpha-1

ARALAST has an acceptable tolerability profile. In a pivotal study, no serious side effects were reported. ¹

• 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.

ARALAST [Alpha₁-Proteinase Inhibitor (Human)] is indicated for chronic augmentation therapy in patients having congenital deficiency of A₁-PI with clinically evident emphysema. ARALAST is not indicated as therapy for lung disease patients in whom congenital A₁-PI deficiency has not been established.
