Vestronidase Alfa-Vjbk is a recombinant human lysosomal beta glucuronidase. It treats mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII or Sly syndrome), a rare, genetic condition where the body doesn’t make enough of an enzyme (protein) that normally breaks down molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The buildup of GAGs can cause problems in many parts of the body, including the bones, joints, brain, physical features, vision, and heart. Vestronidase Alfa-Vjbk replaces the missing enzyme in so GAGs can be broken down properly in the tissues.

The recommended dose of Vestronidase Alfa-Vjbk is 4 mg/kg administered every two weeks as an intravenous infusion.
