- <p><strong>4.2 Posology and Method of Administration</strong></p>
<p>As for all lysosomal genetic disorders, it is of primary importance, especially in severe forms, to initiate treatment as early as possible, before appearance of non-reversible clinical manifestations of the disease.</p>
<p>Naglazyme treatment should be supervised by a physician experienced in the management of patients with MPS VI or other inherited metabolic diseases. Naglazyme should be administered by a healthcare professional in an appropriate clinical setting where resuscitation equipment to manage medical emergencies would be readily available.</p>
<p><strong>4.2.1 Posology</strong></p>
<p>The recommended dosage regimen of NAGLAZYME is 1 mg/kg body weight administered once weekly as an intravenous infusion over a period of no less than 4 hours.</p>
<p><strong>4.2.1.1 Special Populations</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>Renal and Hepatic Impairment</strong></em><br>
The safety and efficacy of NAGLAZYME in patients with renal or hepatic insufficiency have not been evaluated and no alternative dose regimen can be recommended in these patients</p>
<p><em><strong>Elderly (Geriatric Use)</strong></em><br>
The safety and efficacy of NAGLAZYME in patients older than 65 years has not been established, and no alternative dosage regimen can be recommended in these patients. It is not known whether older patients respond differently from younger patients.</p>
<p><em><strong>Pediatric Use</strong></em><br>

However, data from patients ≤ 1 year of age are limited <em>[see Adverse Reactions (4.8) and Mechanism of Action (5.1)</em> – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em><em>]</em>.</p>
<p><strong>4.2.2 Method of Administration</strong></p>

Patients who are susceptible to fluid overload or with a body weight of 20 kg or less should receive a total volume of 100 mL. Patients with a body weight greater than 20 kg should receive a total volume of 250 mL.</p>
