Vimzim is mainly composed of the most important substance known as Elosulfase Alfa. It is used to treat a rare genetic disorder known as mucopolysaccharidosis IV A (also called MPS IVA or Morquio A syndrome). According to the global record, ~1 in 150,000–250,000 births are affected with MPS IVA.

Mode of action

MPS IVA is due to the absence of an enzyme known as N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase, which plays a role in breaking down substances in the body called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which eventually build up in the bones and organs, causing short bones, difficulty in moving and breathing, clouding of the eyes and hearing loss. N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase in Elosulfase Alfa is the active substance present in Vimzim, which breaks down glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the body and stops the cells from building up randomly, resulting in reduced symptoms in patients suffering from MPS IVA.

Indications

Vimzim is indicated in patients suffering from mucopolysaccharidosis IV A (also called MPS IVA or Morquio A syndrome)

Side Effects

The common symptoms in patients taking this medicine are headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, dizziness, chills, difficulty in breathing and oropharyngeal pain.

Import guidance

Elosulfase Alfa availability in India is not permitted as of the present date, but we can import into India only by the legal procedure, since it is not registered with the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) for domestic distribution. 

Steps to Import Elosulfase Alfa

• Send the Elosulfase Alfa request for an order on the website: To begin with, we kindly ask either the patients or their supporters to send all the therapeutic requirements, like prescriptions and the medical history of the patient since diagnosed with MPS IVA.
• Form submission: Please submit the document under the Form No.12A for the permission from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) to import Vimzim (Elosulfase Alfa) as required. Make sure to send a genuine prescription from a Registered Medical Practitioner (RMD).
• Reviewing medical documents: We review all the submitted medical documents to make the import process smooth and to deliver the medicine to you for your personal medical use. 
• Permission to import: We start our import process for medicines when the medical sanctioning of the patient is approved by the government authorities.
