About PROLASTIN-C LIQUID® Infusion Therapy

PROLASTIN-C LIQUID® is a concentrated form of the protein alpha1 antitrypsin that is purified from human plasma, the fluid part of your blood. It is an alpha1-proteinase inhibitor. It works by replacing the missing alpha-1 antitypsin protein that your body doesn't make enough of, which normally protects your lungs from damage by neutralizing harmful enzymes like neutrophil elastase that can destroy lung tissue.
