What is Zemaira?

Zemaira is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by CSL Behring LLC. It contains the Alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (Human) (A1-PI), also called alpha 1-antitrypsin. A1-PI occurs naturally in the body and is important for preventing the breakdown of tissues in the lungs. Zemaira is used to treat alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor deficiency (using chronic augmentation therapy) where the breakdown of lung tissues can lead to clinical evidence of emphysema.

Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disorder and Zemaira will not cure this condition. Also, Zemaira is not recommended for lung disease patients in whom severe A1-PI deficiency has not been established.

What doses of Zemaira are available?

The recommended dose of Zemaira is 60 mg/kg body weight administered once weekly. Zemaira must be mixed with a liquid (diluent) for reconstitution before being given as an injection and used within 3 hours. Zemaira should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.

Zemaira is injected directly into a vein, usually once per week. Recipients of alpha 1-antitrypsin inhibitor therapy should receive a vaccination against hepatitis B prior to initiating treatment.

Zemaira is made from donated human plasma and may contain viruses or other infectious agents. Donated plasma is tested and treated to reduce the risk of contamination, but there is still a possibility it could transmit disease. Always speak with your healthcare provider for medical advice about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Zemaira side effects

The most common side effects of Zemaira in clinical trials include:

• Cold-like symptoms such as runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, cough, sore throat
• Headache, nausea
• Muscle or joint pain
• Flushing (sudden warmth, redness, or tingly feeling)
• Bruising or bleeding at the injection site

In rare instances, Zemaira can cause more serious adverse events. These can include:

• Chest pain, trouble breathing

• Zemaira may contain trace amounts of IgA. Patients with selective or severe IgA deficiency can develop antibodies to IgA and, have a greater risk of developing potentially severe hypersensitivity and anaphylactic reactions

Your doctor will assess the benefits of using Zemaira against your risk of side effects. Patients are encouraged to report negative side effects or adverse reactions of Zemaira to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
