Galafold

Galafold (miglustat) is an orally administered medication used for the treatment of Fabry disease, a genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. This medication works by inhibiting the production of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), which accumulates in various tissues due to the enzyme deficiency. By reducing Gb3 levels, Galafold helps alleviate symptoms and prevent complications associated with Fabry disease.
