What is Siklos?

Siklos is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Addmedica. It is an antimetabolite, indicated to reduce the frequency of painful crises and to reduce the need for blood transfusions in pediatric patients, 2 years of age and older, with sickle cell anemia with recurrent moderate to severe painful crises.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disease that affects red blood cells. Individuals with the disease have abnormal red blood cells that are stiff and half-moon-shaped, causing them to become stuck in the blood vessels, blocking blood flow. Blockages can cause pain and organ damage, which require hospitalization.

What doses of Siklos are available?

Siklos is available in tablet form, in the following doses: 100 mg and functionally triple-scored 1,000 mg tablets.

Swallow Siklos tablets with a glass of water. If you are not able to swallow the tablets, you can dissolve your prescribed dose in a small amount of water in a teaspoon and swallow right away.

Your recommended dose is based on your body weight. The initial dose is 20 mg/kg once daily. Your dose may be increased by 5 mg/kg/day every 8 weeks, or sooner if a severe painful crisis occurs until a maximum tolerated dose, or 35 mg/kg/day is reached if blood counts are in an acceptable range. Reduce the dose by 50% in patients with renal impairment.

Read the medication guide and always speak with your healthcare provider for medical advice about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
