Cerezyme ((imiglucerase) is used for the long-term treatment of patients with Gaucher disease, a rare inherited disorder in which people do not have enough of the acid beta-glucosidase enzyme, so glucosylceramide builds up in the body, typically in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow. This produces anemia, fatigue, bruising, bleeding, enlarged spleen and liver, and bone pain and breaks.
