1. WHAT IS THIS MEDICINE USED FOR?
CARBAGLU can help eliminate excess ammonia from the blood. When
ammonia
accumulates in your blood it is toxic mainly to the brain. In severe
cases, its
accumulation may cause decreased level of consciousness and coma.
CARBAGLU is used to treat hyperammonemia (a condition in which high
levels of
ammonia are found in the plasma), in patients with hyperammonemia
caused by:

lack of a liver enzyme called N-acetylglutamate synthase. Patients
with this rare
condition cannot eliminate nitrogen, a waste material which
accumulates in their
body as a result of eating protein. This medical condition persists
throughout a
patient's life, therefore the need for this treatment is lifelong.

certain acidemia conditions (propionic acidemia, isovaleric acidemia,
methylmalonic acidemia). Patients suffering from one of these
conditions must be
treated during the hyperammonemia stage of their illness.
THERAPEUTIC GROUP:
CPS (carbamoyl phosphate synthase) activator.
2. BEFORE USING THIS MEDICINE
DO NOT USE THIS MEDICINE IF:

You are sensitive (allergic) to the active ingrediant carglumic acid

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Carbaglu is indicated in treatment of
•
hyperammonaemia due to N-acetylglutamate synthase primary deficiency.
•
hyperammonaemia due to isovaleric acidaemia.
•
hyperammonaemia due to methymalonic acidaemia.
•
hyperammonaemia due to propionic acidaemia.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Carbaglu treatment should be initiated under the supervision of a
physician experienced in the
treatment of metabolic disorders.
Posology:
•
For N-acetylglutamate synthase deficiency:
Based on clinical experience, the treatment may be started as early as
the first day of life.
The initial daily dose should be 100 mg/kg, up to 250 mg/kg if
necessary.
It should then be adjusted individually in order to maintain normal
ammonia plasma levels (see
section 4.4).
In the long term, it may not be necessary to increase the dose
according to body weight as long as
adequate metabolic control is achieved; daily doses range from 10
mg/kg to 100 mg/kg.
_Carglumic acid responsiveness test_
It is recommended to test individual responsiveness to carglumic acid
before initiating any long term
treatment. As examples
-
In a comatose child, start with a dose of 100 to 250 mg/kg/day and
measure ammonia plasma
concentration at least before each administration; it should normalise
within a few hours after
starting Carbaglu.
-
In a patient with moderate hyperammonaemia, administer a test dose of
100 to 200 mg/kg/day
2
for 3 days with a constant protein intake and perform repeated
determinations of ammonia
