id=\"What_Is_GLASSIA_Used_for%E2%80%8B\"><\/span>What Is GLASSIA Used for\u200b?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>GLASSIA infusions are FDA-approved for chronic augmentation and maintenance therapy in adults who have emphysema due to severe hereditary deficiency of alpha-1 proteinase inhibitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor (Alpha 1-PI) and alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) are both terms that refer to the same protein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-composition-and-mechanism-of-action\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Composition_and_Mechanism_of_Action\"><\/span>Composition and Mechanism of Action<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>GLASSIA is made from human plasma (the liquid part of the blood), which contains alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor protein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally, alpha 1-PI or ATT protein protects the lungs by stopping the activity of an enzyme (a protein) called neutrophil elastase, which kills bacteria in the lungs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in people with AAT deficiency, elastase doesn\u2019t stop working and eventually damages the lungs. This typically leads to emphysema, which causes symptoms like shortness of breath, wheezing, and a chronic cough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mechanism-of-action\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mechanism_of_Action\"><\/span>Mechanism of Action<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>GLASSIA treatments work by raising the alpha-1 PI levels in the bloodstream. This helps lower inflammation and prevent further damage to lung tissue, thereby slowing the progression of lung disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> GLASSIA is not a cure for AAT deficiency; it only helps to manage this <a href=\"https:\/\/ameripharmaspecialty.com\/conditions-treatments\/\">complex condition<\/a> and slow down or prevent further lung damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-glassia-dosing-and-administration\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GLASSIA_Dosing_and_Administration\"><\/span>GLASSIA Dosing and Administration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>GLASSIA is a liquid medication that is administered through <a href=\"https:\/\/ameripharmaspecialty.com\/home-infusion\/\">intravenous (IV) infusions<\/a> once a week. It\u2019s available as a single-dose vial containing approximately 1 gram (1,000 mg) of functional Alpha-1 PI in 50 ml of ready-to-use solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recommended dosage of this medication is 60 mg\/kg of body weight, which is infused at a rate of 0.2 ml per kg per minute. GLASSIA infusions take approximately 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dosage of GLASSIA is based on your body weight; your dose may change if you lose or gain weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-glassia-side-effects\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GLASSIA_Side_Effects\"><\/span>GLASSIA: Side Effects<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common side effects are headaches and upper respiratory tract infections.

There currently isn\u2019t a cure for AATD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-long-do-i-need-to-take-glassia\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_do_I_need_to_take_GLASSIA\"><\/span>How long do I need to take GLASSIA?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AATD is a <strong>lifelong condition<\/strong>, so treatment with GLASSIA is <strong>ongoing<\/strong>. Your healthcare provider will likely have you continue taking the medication as long as it\u2019s helping your condition and you\u2019re not having any significant side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your healthcare provider if you have questions or concerns about your treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-receive-this-medication-at-home\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_receive_this_medication_at_home\"><\/span>Can I receive this medication at home?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, many patients receive GLASSIA medication at home after proper training or with the help of a nurse. However, your healthcare provider will likely have you receive the first few doses in a clinic or infusion center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GLASSIA comes in a ready-to-administer formulation, so you don\u2019t need to mix anything before infusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-glassia-treatment-the-same-as-other-aat-therapies\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_GLASSIA_treatment_the_same_as_other_AAT_therapies\"><\/span>Is GLASSIA treatment the same as other AAT therapies?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>GLASSIA is similar to other Alpha 1-PI therapies like Prolastin-C, Aralast NP, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zemaira.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zemaira<\/a>. Still, it is unique because it is a ready-to-use liquid rather than a powder that requires mixing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-should-i-do-if-i-miss-a-dose\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_I_do_if_I_miss_a_dose\"><\/span>What should I do if I miss a dose?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you miss a dose, contact your healthcare provider for further instructions.

The 1-gram vial size was approved by the FDA in 2010, and the new larger vial sizes (4 and 5 grams) will be available beginning July 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-glassia-a-biologic\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_GLASSIA_a_biologic\"><\/span>Is GLASSIA a biologic?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, GLASSIA (Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor [Human]) is a <a href=\"https:\/\/ameripharmaspecialty.com\/conditions-treatments\/auto-immune-conditions-treated-with-biologics\/\"><strong>biologic<\/strong><\/a>, meaning it\u2019s derived from human blood plasma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-maximum-infusion-rate\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_maximum_infusion_rate\"><\/span>What is the maximum infusion rate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The maximum recommended infusion rate for GLASSIA is 0.2 ml\/kg\/min.
