Glassia is a medication (specifically Glassia 1000mg/50ml Inj, 1 Vial) designed to help those with A1PI deficiency. This genetic condition means your body doesn't produce enough alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (A1PI), leaving your lungs vulnerable to damage. Glassia infusions can help protect your lungs from further damage, but like any medication, it comes with potential side effects. I've been on it for a few months now, and I'm curious about other people's experiences. What side effects have you encountered, and how have you managed them? Also, curious to know if anyone has switched to other treatments and why.
