What is Panhematin?

Panhematin is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Recordati Rare Diseases Inc. Panhematin (hemin for injection) is an enzyme inhibitor indicated for amelioration of recurrent attacks of acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) temporally related to the menstrual cycle in susceptible women after initial carbohydrate therapy is known or suspected to be inadequate. Panhematin is not recommended for the repair of neuronal damage due to the progression of porphyria attacks.

What doses of Panhematin are available?

Panhematin is available as a sterile, lyophilized powder for reconstitution for injection, in the following doses: 350 mg hemin, 240 mg sodium carbonate, and 335 mg of sorbitol. When mixed with Sterile Water for Injection, each 48 mL provides the equivalent of approximately 336 mg hematin (7 mg/mL).

Before therapy begins, the presence of acute porphyria must be diagnosed using the following criteria:

• Presence of clinical symptoms
• Positive Watson-Schwartz or Hoesch test. (A negative Watson-Schwartz or Hoesch test indicates a porphyric attack is highly unlikely. When in doubt quantitative measures of δ-aminolevulinic acid and porphobilinogen (PBG) in serum or urine may aid in diagnosis).

Before administering Panhematin, consider an appropriate period of carbohydrate loading (400 g glucose/day for 1 to 2 days).

Always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
