4.1 Therapeutic indications
Adjunctive treatment of homocystinuria, involving deficiencies or
defects in:
• cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS),
• 5,10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR),
• cobalamin cofactor metabolism (cbl).
Cystadane should be used as supplement to other therapies such as
vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B12
(cobalamin), folate and a specific diet.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Cystadane treatment should be supervised by a physician experienced in
the treatment of patients with
homocystinuria.
Posology
_Children and Adult _

daily. However, the dose should be
individually titrated according to plasma levels of homocysteine and
methionine. In some patients doses
above 200 mg/ kg/day were needed to reach therapeutic goals. Caution
should be exercised with up-
titrating doses for patients with CBS deficiency due to the risk for
hypermethioninaemia. Methionine
levels should be closely monitored in these patients.
_Special populations _
_Hepatic or renal impairment_
Experience with betaine anhydrous therapy in patients with renal
insufficiency or non-alcoholic hepatic
steatosis has demonstrated no need to adapt the dose regimen of
Cystadane.
Method of administration
The bottle should be lightly shaken before opening. Three measuring
spoons are provided which dispense
either 100 mg, 150 mg or 1 g of betaine anhydrous. It is recommended
that a heaped measuring spoon is
removed from the bottle and a flat surface e.g. base of a knife is
drawn across the top of the measure. This
