1. what cinryze is and what it is used for

Cinryze contains the human protein called “C1 inhibitor” as the active substance.

  • C1 inhibitor is a naturally occurring protein that is normally present in the blood. If you have a low amount of C1 inhibitor in your blood or your C1 inhibitor is not working properly, this can lead to swelling attacks (called angioedema). Symptoms may include stomach pains and swelling of the: hands and feet
  • face, eyelids, lips or tongue
  • voice-box (larynx), which may make breathing difficult
  • genitals

In adults and children, Cinryze can raise the amount of C1 inhibitor in the blood and either prevent (prior to undergoing medical or dental procedures) these swelling attacks from occurring or stop swelling attacks once they have begun.

In adults, adolescents and children (aged 6 years and above), Cinryze can raise the amount of C1 inhibitor in the blood and routinely prevent swelling attacks from occurring.

2. what you need to know before you take cinryze

Do not take Cinryze

  • If you are allergic to C1 inhibitor or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). It is important to tell your doctor if you think you have ever had an allergic reaction to any of the ingredients in Cinryze.

Warnings and precautions

  • Before you start treatment with Cinryze, it is important that you tell your doctor if you have, or have had, problems with your blood clotting (thrombotic events). You will be carefully monitored if this is the case.
  • If you begin to suffer from rashes, tightness of the chest, wheezing, or a fast heart beat once you have taken Cinryze, you should tell your doctor immediately (see section 4).
  • When medicines are made from human blood or plasma, certain measures are put in place to prevent infections being passed on to patients. These include careful selection of blood and plasma donors to make sure those at risk of carrying infections are excluded, and the testing of each donation and pools of plasma for signs of virus/infections.

Manufacturers of these products also include steps in the processing of the blood or plasma that can inactivate or remove viruses. Despite these measures, when medicines prepared from human blood or plasma are administered, the possibility of passing on infection cannot be totally excluded. This also applies to any unknown or emerging viruses or other types of infections.

  • The measures taken are considered effective for enveloped viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses, and for the non-enveloped hepatitis A and parvovirus B19 viruses.
  • Your doctor may recommend that you consider having vaccinations against hepatitis A and B if you regularly or repeatedly receive C1 inhibitor products that have been taken from human plasma.
  • In order to improve the traceability of biological medicinal products, the name and the batch number of the administered product should be clearly recorded by your nurse or doctor.

Children

Cinryze is not for use in children below 6 years of age for routine prevention of angioedema attacks.

Other medicines and Cinryze

3. how to take cinryze

Your treatment will be initiated and managed under supervision of a doctor experienced in the care of patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE).

  • If you are experiencing a severe attack, particularly a swelling of the voice-box (larynx), or if initiation of treatment is delayed, the second 1000 IU dose may be given earlier than 60 minutes after the first dose, depending on your clinical response.
  • Cinryze should be injected intravenously (into the vein).

Routine prevention of swelling attacks

  • A dose of 1000 IU (two vials) of Cinryze should be injected every 3 or 4 days for routine prevention of swelling attacks.
