Cerezyme (Imiglucerase) is used to treat certain rare genetic problems (such as Gaucher disease). Imiglucerase replaces a certain natural substance (an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase) that is missing in people with Gaucher disease. This medicine helps to improve blood, bone, liver and spleen problems caused by Gaucher disease. Imiglucerase does not correct the genetic problem and must be continued for life.

Zavesca contains Miglustat, an active ingredient used in the long-term treatment of Gaucher's disease. The drug works by reducing the amount of natural fat that accumulates due to this condition. From there, it helps to improve the symptoms of the disease such as fatigue, joint pain and swelling of the liver and spleen...

Gaucher disease is a rare genetic disease caused by a deficiency of an enzyme in the body that causes too much fat to form in the body's organs. However, there are now drugs that help slow down the production of fat components by inhibiting their metabolism, giving patients a better chance of living.
