CHOLBAM is intended for the treatment of infants from one month old, children and adolescents up to 18 years old, and adults who have an inborn error in bile acid synthesis due to a deficiency of one of the following enzymes: • Sterol 27-hydroxylase (presenting as cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, CTX( • 2- (or alpha-( methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR( • Cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1( • 3β-hydroxy-5-C27-steroid oxidoreductase (3β-hydroxy-5-C27- steroid dehydrogenase/isomerase or 3β-HSD or HSD3β7( THERAPEUTIC GROUP: Bile acids. CHOLBAM contains cholic acid. Your liver makes cholic acid in your body naturally when it makes bile, which is a fluid that helps with digesting and absorbing fats and vitamins from your food. Cholic acid also helps in the process of children’s growth and normal development. CHOLBAM is intended for use in cases where there is an inborn problem of cholic acid production. CHOLBAM replaces the cholic acid which the body does not make; this helps produce bile acids in the body and prevents the accumulation of harmful substances in the liver. In infants, cholic acid treatment helps in the normal development of the liver and the blood-bile circulation. CHOLBAM can be used from the age of one month.

Posology The recommended dosage for cholic acid in the treatment of inborn errors of primary bile acid synthesis is 10-15 mg/kg per day, either as a single daily dose or in divided doses, for both adult and paediatric patients. The dose should be subsequently titrated to the desired effect but should not exceed a maximum of 15mg/kg/day.

If not, the next higher dose should be selected. The recommended dos اقرأ الوثيقة كاملة
