Coastal Infusion can administer your Elaprase prescription at any of our south Florida locations.
Elaprase (idursulfase) is used for the treatment of Hunter Syndrome, also known as mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II), a rare genetic disorder in which the body creates too little iduronate 2-sulfatase enzyme (an enzyme that helps the body break down certain types of sugar).
Elaprase is an enzyme replacement therapy that provides the missing iduronate-2-sulfatase enzyme.
