How ZAVESCA® Works

In people with type 1 Gaucher disease, the body has an excess of substances called glycosphingolipids (gli-coh-sfing-goh-lip-ids).1,2

These substances are harmful when they build up in cells of organs, such as the liver and spleen.2

People with type 1 Gaucher disease also may have lowered levels of hemoglobin and platelets that may cause anemia (low red blood cell count).2,3

ZAVESCA® reduces the harmful buildup of glycosphingolipids throughout the body to help treat some of the symptoms of mild to moderate type 1 Gaucher disease.*4
