What is Buphenyl?
Buphenyl (sodium phenylbutyrate) is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication. It decreases elevated plasma ammonia glutamine levels and is used to treat urea cycle disorders in people who lack certain liver enzymes needed to properly eliminate waste substances from the body. High ammonia levels in the body can cause brain damage and sometimes death
Buphenyl is only used to treat high blood levels of ammonia in patients with carbamylphosphate synthetase (CPS), ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC), and argininosuccinic acid synthetase (AS) deficiencies.
Buphenyl should not be used to manage acute hyperammonemia, which is a medical emergency.
What doses of Buphenyl are available?
Buphenyl is available in tablet form, in the following doses: 500 mg, and powder form in the following doses: 940mg/gram.
Always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
