Description
Ravicti binds with other substances in the liver and kidneys to help eliminate nitrogen from the body. Excess nitrogen can cause hyperammonemi, a build-up of ammonia in the blood. Ammonia is very toxic when it circulates in blood and tissues and can cause permanent brain damage, coma, or death.
Limitations of Use:
- RAVICTI is not indicated for treatment of acute hyperammonemia in patients with UCDs. (1)
- Safety and efficacy for treatment of N-acetylglutamate synthase (NAGS) deficiency has not been established.
