What is Aldurazyme (genzyme)?
Aldurazyme is the brand name for laronidase, an enzyme replacement therapy used for mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I), a rare inherited lysosomal storage disorder. It is sold by Genzyme (a company within Sanofi, depending on the market and time period).
Who makes Aldurazyme (Genzyme)?
Aldurazyme is associated with Genzyme as the brand manufacturer/marketer. In practice, the product’s corporate ownership has been tied to Genzyme’s post-merger structure (Genzyme became part of Sanofi).
What is Aldurazyme used to treat?
Aldurazyme is used to treat MPS I, where the body cannot break down certain glycosaminoglycans. Enzyme replacement helps reduce the buildup of these substances in tissues.
