1. What Carglumic Acid is and what it is used for

The name of this medicine is Carglumic Acid Waymade 200 mg Dispersible Tablets. In this leaflet, it will be called Carglumic Acid.

Carglumic Acid can help eliminate high levels of ammonia in the blood. Ammonia is especially toxic to the brain and can cause, in severe cases, a decrease in the level of consciousness and coma.

Hyperammonemia can be due to

  • the lack of a specific liver enzyme (N-acetylglutamate synthase). Patients with this rare disorder are unable to eliminate nitrogen waste, which increases after eating proteins.

This disorder persists throughout the patient's life, so this treatment is necessary for life

  • isovaleric acidemia, methylmalonic acidemia, or propionic acidemia. Patients who suffer from one of these disorders need treatment during the hyperammonemia crisis.
