There are 2 kinds of treatment for Gaucher disease type 1. Treatment outcomes may vary among patients.

Oral capsule/SRT treatment

Substrate reduction therapy (SRT): Oral capsule

  • Reduces the amount of GL-1 produced
  • Oral medicine taken daily
IV ifusion/ERT treatment

Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT): Infusion

  • Adds a modified version of the enzyme that helps your body break down GL-1
  • Intravenous (IV) infusion usually given every 2 weeks at an infusion center, a doctor’s office, or at home as medically appropriate. (Each infusion takes approximately 1 to 2 hours.)
