What is Pyrukynd?

Pyrukynd is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Agios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The FDA has granted orphan drug designation to Pyrukynd in PK deficiency. FDA approval of Pyrukynd was based on the ACTIVATE study that found that 40% more patients taking Pyrukynd had increased hemoglobin compared to those taking placebo. In the ACTIVATE-T study, 33% of patients taking Pyrukynd saw a reduction in the need for blood transfusions.

Pyrukynd is a pyruvate kinase activator used for the treatment of hemolytic anemia (a condition in which red blood cells are destroyed faster than they can be made) in adults with pyruvate kinase deficiency. It works by slowing the breakdown of red blood cells and may help to improve symptoms of anemia such as shortness of breath, tiredness, and a decrease in the need for blood transfusions.

What doses of Pyrukynd are available?

Pyrukynd is available in tablet form, in the following doses: 5 mg, 20 mg, and 50 mg.

The starting dose for Pyrukynd is 5 mg orally twice daily with or without food. Swallow the tablets whole. Do not crush, chew or break the tablets. See the full prescribing information for dose titration and taper schedule.

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