WHAT PALYNZIQ IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Palynziq contains the active substance pegvaliase, an enzyme that can
break down a substance called
phenylalanine in the body. Palynziq is a treatment for patients aged
16 years and older with
phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare inherited disorder that causes
phenylalanine from proteins in food to
build up in the body. People who have PKU have high levels of
phenylalanine and this can lead to
serious health problems.
_ _
Palynziq reduces the levels of phenylalanine in the blood of patients
who
have PKU whose blood phenylalanine levels cannot be kept below 600
micromol/l by other means
such as by diet.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE PALYNZIQ
_ _
DO NOT USE PALYNZIQ
-
if you have a severe allergy to pegvaliase
