Galafold Dosage

Patient Selection

Select adults with confirmed Fabry disease who have an amenable GLA variant for treatment with GALAFOLD.

Treatment is indicated for patients with an amenable GLA variant that is interpreted by a clinical genetics professional as causing Fabry disease (pathogenic, likely pathogenic) in the clinical context of the patient. Consultation with a clinical genetics professional is strongly recommended in cases where the amenable GLA variant is of uncertain clinical significance (VUS, variant of uncertain significance) or may be benign (not causing Fabry disease).

Recommended Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of GALAFOLD is 123 mg orally once every other day.

Take GALAFOLD at the same time of day and do not take on consecutive days.

Swallow capsule whole. Do not cut, crush, or chew the capsule.

Take GALAFOLD on an empty stomach. Do not consume food or caffeine at least 2 hours prior to and 2 hours after taking GALAFOLD to give a minimum 4 hour fast.

Water (plain, flavored, or sweetened), fruit juices without pulp, and caffeine-free carbonated beverages can be consumed during the fasting period.

Recommendations for a Missed Dose

If the GALAFOLD dose is missed, take the missed dose if it is within 12 hours of the time that the dose should have been taken. If more than 12 hours have passed, take GALAFOLD at the next planned dosing day and time following the original every-other-day dosing schedule.
