What is Ravicti?

Ravicti is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication distributed by Horizon Therapeutics plc. Ravicti (glycerol phenylbutyrate) is a nitrogen-binding agent indicated for the chronic management of patients 2 years of age and older with urea cycle disorders (UCDs) who cannot be managed by dietary protein restriction and/or amino acid supplementation alone.

Ravicti must be used with dietary protein restrictions (low-protein diet) and, in some cases, dietary supplements, such as essential amino acids, arginine, citrulline, and protein-free calorie supplements.

Ravicti is not recommended for the treatment of acute hyperammonemia (sudden rise of blood ammonia levels) in patients with UCDs, or for the treatment of N-acetylglutamate synthase (NAGS) deficiency.

What doses of Ravicti are available?

Ravicti is available in oral liquid form, in the following doses: 1.1 g/mL of glycerol phenylbutyrate.

Your dose of Ravicti depends on your diet, height, and weight. Regular blood tests are needed to adjust your dose. Your total daily dose of Ravicti should be divided into equal amounts and taken with each meal. Ravicti may be a life-long treatment unless you have a successful liver transplant. If you switch from sodium phenylbutyrate (Buphenyl) to Ravicti, your dose will not be the same. Follow your doctor’s dosing instructions very carefully. If you cannot swallow see the instructions on the administration of Ravicti by nasogastric tube or gastrostomy tube.

Please read the full medication guide and always speak with a healthcare professional about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Ravicti active ingredients

The active ingredient, glycerol phenylbutyrate, is converted to phenylacetate in the body. Phenylacetate attaches to glutamine found in proteins to form a substance that the kidneys can remove from the body. Removal of proteins decreases the levels of nitrogen in the body, reducing the amount of ammonia produced.

Ravicti side effects

The most common side effects of Ravicti in clinical trials include:

  • Diarrhea
  • Flatulence
  • Headache
  • Stomach pain, decreased appetite, indigestion, or heartburn
  • Vomiting
  • Tiredness
  • High blood levels of ammonia

In rare instances, Ravicti can cause more serious adverse effects. These can include:

  • Neurotoxicity
  • Reduced phenylbutyrate absorption in pancreatic insufficiency or intestinal malabsorption

Your doctor will assess the benefits of using Ravicti against your risk of side effects. Patients are encouraged to report negative side effects or adverse reactions of Ravicti to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

  • Corticosteroids, valproic acid, or haloperidol may increase plasma ammonia levels – monitor ammonia levels closely
  • Probenecid – may affect renal excretion of metabolites of Ravicti
