WHAT CYSTADANE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Cystadane contains betaine anhydrous which is intended to be an
adjunctive treatment of
homocystinuria, an inherited (genetic) disease where the amino acid
methionine cannot be broken
down completely by the body.
Methionine is present in regular food protein (e.g. meat, fish, milk,
cheese, eggs). It is converted into
homocysteine which is then normally converted into cysteine during
digestion. Homocystinuria is a
disease caused by the accumulation of homocysteine which is not
converted to cysteine and is
characterised by formation of clots in the veins, bone weakness, and
skeletal and crystalline lens
abnormalities. The use of Cystadane together with other treatments
such as vitamin B6, vitamin B12,
folate and a specific diet aims to reduce the elevated homocysteine
levels in your body.

defects in:
cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS),
5,10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR),

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 _
The recommended total daily dose is 100 mg/kg/day given in 2 doses
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 will give the following doses: small measure
100 mg, middle size
measure 150 mg and large
