Avalglucosidase alfa Disease Interactions

There is 1 disease interaction with avalglucosidase alfa.

Major

Hydrolytic lysosomal glycogen-specific enzymes (applies to avalglucosidase alfa) cardiac/pulmonary impairment

Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Heart Disease, Fluid Retention

Patients with an acute underlying illness at the time of avalglucosidase alfa or cipaglucosidase alfa infusion may be at greater risk for infusion-associated reactions (IARs); compromised cardiac and respiratory function may predispose patients to a higher risk of severe complications from IARs. Antihistamines, antipyretics, and/or corticosteroids can be given before avalglucosidase alfa or cipaglucosidase alfa infusion to reduce the risk of IARs; however, IARs may still occur in pretreated patients.

Patients susceptible to fluid volume overload, or patients with acute underlying respiratory illness or compromised cardiac or respiratory function for whom fluid restriction is indicated may be at risk of serious exacerbation of their cardiac or respiratory status during avalglucosidase alfa or cipaglucosidase alfa infusion; more frequent monitoring of vitals should be performed during infusion in such patients. Some patients may require prolonged observation times.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
