Human alpha-1 proteinase inhibitors are used to manage lung damage called emphysema due to alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. These medications work by replacing the missing or deficient alpha-1 protein in your body, which helps protect your lungs from damage. Human alpha-1 proteinase inhibitors are available in injectable forms. Examples include alpha-1 proteinase inhibitors, such as Aralast NP, Glassia, Prolastin C, and Zemaira. You can receive these treatments through infusions to help manage your condition.
