WHAT PROCYSBI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
PROCYSBI contains the active substance cysteamine (also known as
mercaptamine) and is taken for
the treatment of nephropathic cystinosis in children and adults.
Cystinosis is a disease affecting how
the body functions, with an abnormal accumulation of the amino acid
cystine in various organs of the
body such as the kidney, eye, muscle, pancreas, and brain. Cystine
build-up causes kidney damage and
excretion of excess amounts of glucose, proteins, and electrolytes.
Different organs are affected at
different ages.
PROCYSBI is a medicine that reacts with cystine to decrease its level
within the cells. Cysteamine
therapy should be initiated promptly after confirmation of the
diagnosis of cystinosis to achieve
maximum benefit.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
PROCYSBI
is indicated for the treatment of proven nephropathic cystinosis.
Cysteamine reduces
cystine accumulation in some cells (e.g. leukocytes, muscle and liver
cells) of nephropathic cystinosis
patients and, when treatment is started early, it delays the
development of renal failure.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
PROCYSBI treatment should be initiated under the supervision of a
physician experienced in the
treatment of cystinosis.
Cysteamine
therapy must be initiated promptly once the diagnosis is confirmed
(i.e., increased WBC
cystine) to achieve maximum benefit.
Posology
White blood cell (WBC) cystine concentration may for instance be
measured by a number of different
techniques such as specific WBC subsets (e.g., granulocyte assay) or
the mixed leukocyte assay with
each assay having different target values. Healthcare professionals
should refer to the assay-specific
therapeutic targets provided by individual testing laboratories when
making decisions regarding
diagnosis and PROCYSBI dosing
