Mécanisme d'action
Sapropterin is a synthetic form of BH4, the cofactor for phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH). It can activate residual PAH activity, improve oxidative metabolism of Phe and lower Phe levels in some PKU patients.
Posologie adulte habituelle (résumé de la notice)
BH4-responsive PKU (patients 7 years and older): starting dose 10 to 20 mg/kg (actual body weight), orally once daily, with a meal, with Phe-restricted diet; after response is established adjust within 5 to 20 mg/kg per day by blood Phe
Grossesse et allaitement
- Grossesse
- Unknown Available data have not identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects or miscarriage; uncontrolled maternal Phe is harmful, so keep blood Phe between 120 and 360 micromol/L. Rabbit study showed holoprosencephaly at 10 times the MRHD.
- Allaitement
- Unknown Insufficient data on presence in human milk; no lactation-related safety concerns reported in 13 breastfed infants. Weigh benefits of breastfeeding against maternal need.
Effets indésirables signalés
- Headache
- Rhinorrhea
- Pharyngolaryngeal pain
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Cough
Précautions particulières
- Hypersensitivity including anaphylaxis: not recommended with history of anaphylaxis; discontinue and treat if anaphylaxis occurs, continue Phe restriction.
- Upper GI mucosal inflammation (esophagitis, gastritis) can occur; monitor for signs and symptoms.
- Hypophenylalaninemia: higher risk in pediatric patients younger than 7 years at 20 mg/kg per day.
Informez votre pharmacien ou votre médecin en cas de grossesse ou d'allaitement, de maladie rénale ou hépatique, d'allergies, ainsi que de tout autre médicament ou complément que vous prenez.
