Already Treating Your Alpha-1?
As a diagnosed Alpha, you want to do all you can to stay healthy and prevent further
lung damage. In addition to making lifestyle changes, you may need to be considering
a number of therapeutic options.
We created Zemaira for chronic A1-PI augmentation therapy
in adult Alpha-1 patients with emphysema. Zemaira has been shown
to be safe and effective, with half or less the infusion volume and time of other
Alpha-1 therapies.1-3* What’s more, Zemaira is
backed by patient support programs that provide you with peace of mind.
. . .with Zemaira, you can expect high purity,
efficacy, safety, and convenience.

Important Safety Information
Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor (Human), Zemaira is indicated for chronic augmentation and maintenance therapy for adults with alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (A1-PI) deficiency and emphysema. Clinical data demonstrating the long-term effects of chronic augmentation therapy with Zemaira are not available.
Zemaira may not be appropriate for the following adult individuals as they may experience severe reactions, including anaphylaxis: individuals with a known hypersensitivity and/or history of anaphylaxis or severe systemic reaction to A1-PI products or their components, and individuals with selective IgA deficiencies who have known antibodies against IgA.
In clinical studies, the following treatment-related adverse reactions were reported in 1% of subjects: asthenia (fatigue), injection-site pain, dizziness, headache, paresthesia (tingling), and pruritus (itching).
Zemaira is derived from human plasma. The risk of transmission of infectious agents, including viruses and, theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent, cannot be completely eliminated.
